Скачать или смотреть You Are Not Your Thoughts: How to Silence the Inner Critic

You would never talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself.
But your inner voice doesn’t care. It attacks, judges and humiliates you every single day.

This video tells the story of Sofia — a woman who looks “successful” from the outside, but secretly lives with a brutal inner critic that never shuts up. Every mistake becomes proof that she is worthless. Every compliment feels like a lie.

In Japanese-inspired psychology, this destructive pattern has a name: Naiko no Oni – the inner demon.
In this journey, you’ll discover:

Why your brain learned to attack you in order to survive shame and rejection
How early criticism and emotional neglect become an internalized voice that never stops
Why self-criticism doesn’t make you stronger — it actually weakens your body, focus and courage
And how the 4 pillars of Naiko no Oni can help you tame this inner demon:
Kōe no Kagami – The Mirror of the Voice
Noticing and writing down exactly what your inner critic says. Dragging it out of the dark.

Bunri – The Sacred Separation
Learning to say “this is a voice, not the truth, not my identity.”
Shoken Kotoba – Deliberate Words
Consciously rewriting your inner script with grounded, honest sentences instead of automatic self-hatred.
Giri no Ugoki – Honorable Action
Acting with dignity even when the critic is screaming. Walking your path instead of obeying the voice.
This is not about “positive vibes” or cheesy affirmations.
It’s about training your mind so that the voice in your head becomes a guide, not an abuser.
