Following frequently-cited advice on writing anxiety, I have named my #InternalCritic Bunny. She's a precocious, bossy, child. Hearing her criticism in the slightly-panicked tones of a deeply-insecure know-it-all helps put it in perspective.

It's okay Bunny. You're not wrong, but you're also not helping. Take some breaths, have a treat, and let's work on this together. We'll get there.

Our Inner critic (IC) can be very mean to us. It’s a way we can really downgrade ourselves (by telling us that we are stupid, ugly,…). How can we deal with the IC?
