Healing the Inner Critic: How RTT Rewires the Voice That Holds You Back
Most people don’t realise that the harshest voice they hear each day isn’t from a stranger.
It’s from inside their own head.
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’ll mess it up again.”
“Who do you think you are?”
This voice the inner critic can be subtle or loud.
It might whisper in moments of self-doubt or roar during times of change.
But either way, it’s deeply familiar. And often, it’s running the show.
The truth is, this voice isn’t actually you.
It’s a collection of borrowed messages, shaped by your earliest experiences.
And the good news is: it can be changed.
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) offers a direct path to transform the inner critic not by silencing it temporarily, but by reprogramming the subconscious beliefs that gave it power in the first place.
What Is the Inner Critic?
The inner critic is a mental pattern rooted in early conditioning.
It often forms in childhood, when we’re absorbing messages about who we are, what’s acceptable, and how we need to behave in order to belong.
If you were raised in an environment where love was conditional, mistakes were punished, or approval was tied to achievement, your mind may have created an internal authority to keep you in line:
“Don’t be too loud.”
“Don’t stand out.”
“You’re only worthy if you’re perfect.”
“You’re safe if you don’t make mistakes.”
While this voice may have once served a protective function, it now holds you back from expressing your full potential. Left unexamined, it creates low self-worth, chronic anxiety, perfectionism, and even imposter syndrome.
Why Traditional Affirmations Often Don’t Work
You may have tried to override the inner critic with positive affirmations:
“I am enough.”
“I believe in myself.”
“I can do this.”
But if those words don’t feel true, your subconscious will reject them.
That’s because the subconscious mind prioritizes emotional truth over logic.
If the root belief formed at age six or eight or twelve is still running the show, the inner critic will keep winning.
Until you go to the root and change the belief itself.
How RTT Transforms the Inner Critic
Rapid Transformational Therapy allows us to bypass the critical faculty of the conscious mind and access the subconscious directly.
Here’s how we work with the inner critic in RTT:
1. Identify the Root
In a relaxed hypnotic state, we revisit the scenes in your life where the inner critic first emerged often moments of shame, failure, or conditional love. You don’t relive the pain you observe it with adult awareness.
2. Understand the Meaning
We explore what belief your younger mind created in that moment. For example:
“If I fail, I’ll be rejected.”
“If I’m not perfect, I’m not safe.”
“If I rest, I’ll be seen as lazy.”
3. Reframe the Story
With understanding comes freedom. You begin to realise:
That moment was never your fault. That voice isn’t the truth. That belief doesn’t serve you.
4. Rewire the Belief
Through vivid imagery, emotionally charged suggestion, and repetition (via a customized transformation recording), we install a new voice one rooted in truth, compassion, and confidence.
The Voice You Deserve to Hear
After RTT, clients often say:
“I can finally hear myself without judgement.”
“That critical voice is gone. It’s quiet now.”
“For the first time, I actually believe I’m enough.”
Because the new belief becomes familiar.
And once the mind accepts a new familiar, it stops protecting the old one.
A New Inner Dialogue to Practice:
“I speak to myself with respect.
I honour who I am becoming.
I no longer believe the voice that once tried to keep me small.
I am safe to grow.”
Final Thoughts
The inner critic is not your fault.
It’s not your truth.
It’s just a part of your mind doing its best with outdated instructions.
RTT gives you the tools to update the script, and reclaim your voice.
If you’re ready to quiet the critic and meet the part of you that knows your worth, I invite you to explore what’s possible.
