Criticism and
the Power of Disarming
Hi everybody! We recorded an awesome video with Dr. Carly Zankman.
Video of the Week: Why Criticism Can NEVER Hurt You! (27:52)
Have you ever been hurt by criticism? I think nearly every honest person would give this a big YES! In this video, Carly and I explain why criticism can NEVER upset you–only your thoughts can upset you. And you have to buy into a criticism to feel upset. But then, it’s your own thoughts that are causing your pain.
And here’s something really weird, but true and reassuring. Those negative thoughts will almost NEVER be true. They’re chock full of cognitive distortions!
Through examples and role-play, you’ll see:
- How agreeing with criticism can disarm it
- How distorted thinking fuels hurt, anger, and shame
- How to respond with confidence, self-respect and other-respect
If criticism has ever left you feeling angry or depressed, this video offers a radically different way to understand and respond to it.
