When the Critic Comes Back
When the old critical voice comes back, it can feel as if every kinder day has been erased. Across a wide tidal shore, its return becomes something recognisable: a pattern, not a verdict. There is room to stay steady, let the sharpness pass through, and keep speaking to yourself with care.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
