My Inner Critic
This blog is not only for me to express myself, it is FOR YOU. Perhaps you will recognize a little bit of yourself in me. If I can help even one person, I am making progress in helping all of us nice Jewish gals who were raised by Jewish mothers.
First you must know that I am constantly a work in progress. I was raised by a Jewish mother who inadvertantly taught me to be ashamed of my imperfections-my funny toes, my frizzy hair, my body, etc. She was saying cover yourself up, hide your body. As a result, I felt like I wasn't worthy of love and affection. Actually I took on her thoughts about what she didn't like about herself, and she put them on me. Thank God I never had children. If I had had children, I would have in turn given these beliefs to them. I lived my life with these deeply instilled thoughts for more than 50 years. This is what I call the "critical nature" inside of me. It has kept me from totally and deeply connecting with a man in a relationship. My inner critic saw their "imperfections" as a way to keep me "separate". Although I still struggle in relationships with thse feelings, I recognize them now; and I am getting better. For me, it is almost like being able to be reborn again with a new beautiful emotional and sexual self. Thank you God for the Human Awareness Institute.
