Inner Critic to Inner Coach: Understanding Shame vs. Blame

This workshop offers a compassionate and practical look at the voices we carry within—especially the ones that speak the loudest when we’re struggling. By exploring the difference between shame and blame, participants learn how internal narratives shape behavior, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Through guided reflection, discussion, and restorative frameworks, you’ll learn to:

• Recognize the patterns and language of the inner critic

• Understand how shame-based thinking affects decision-making and connection

• Differentiate blame from accountability

• Practice shifting toward an “inner coach” that encourages growth, honesty, and resilience

Designed for anyone seeking healthier self-talk and stronger emotional awareness, this workshop equips you with tools to respond to challenges with clarity and compassion—starting from within.
