In this episode, I examine the complexities of social anxiety linked to internalized critical voices from parents. Using a metaphor of facing a bully, I discuss how self-attack emerges as a defense mechanism against childhood abuse. I emphasize the need for open conversations with parents and the importance of therapy in navigating these issues.
I also propose reframing inner critics as protective forces rather than adversaries, advocating a healthier self-relationship. I conclude by outlining a tripartite approach to healing that involves addressing external criticism, reshaping our inner narratives, and fostering self-kindness, encouraging listeners to pursue their own paths to healing.

The Holodomor was a man-made famine impacting Ukrainians from the spring of 1932 through the autumn of 1933. It remains the greatest single massacre orchestrated by the Soviet government, with estimated death tolls between 3.5 to 5 million.
The population of Ukraine in 1930 was about 31.4 million. This means that between 11% to 16% of the country was murdered by the State. That’s 1 out of every 6 people in the worst case. Can you imagine this? Out of all the people you know, one sixth of them, murdered through starvation, disease, gulag, a firing squad, or by your neighbors.
That is over 55 million US citizens. That is a 9/11 every day for almost 51 years. That is a 9/11 every 45 minutes for 18 months straight.
How does this happen? How do you get such brutality? Why were Ukrainians targeted? And, perhaps most importantly, could it have been avoided? What can we learn from this?
