Silencing Your Inner Critic Art Worksheet

About This Tool

Everyone has that little voice in their heads that tells them that they can’t do something. It’s that voice that says you aren’t smart enough to write a novel or that you aren’t talented enough to paint. No matter how hard a person practices it still seems to find new things that are ‘wrong.’

In this 2 page worksheet a person give's their inner critical voice a form which helps the person to seperate themselves from it and gives them something to talk back too. This intervention is called Externalizing the problem and is utilized in Narrative therapy. 

The art can be as much or little detail as the user prefers and can be done with any art medium. Worksheet should take between 5-15 minutes to complete. Can be used for clients at any age who are open to art projects.
