history: The Inner critic in me is very intense. I understand. But do you have a some self-compassion? This is when you extend compassion to yourself when you perceive failure, for exemple I try, but i just can't control myself most of the time.
knowledge: Self-compassion is extending compassion to one's self in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, or general suffering.
