When someone criticises us we naturally feel on edge and defensive. This is because criticism threatens our ego and our sense of self and so we have a very emotional reaction. But that doesn't have to be the case. In today's episode, we break down: <ul> <li>What makes us so sensitive to criticism</li> <li>Hypercritical parenting and an aversion to feedback </li> <li>Rejection sensitivity and criticism </li> <li>The differences between criticism and feedback</li> <li>How to properly approach criticism</li> <li>When the criticism isn't worth your time</li> </ul> All of that and more as we unpack the psychology behind criticism.
