We may not realize how we can hurt and push others away with our words and attitudes.
That is why I made a series of videos on YouTube to bring more awareness to how criticism may be hurting your life and your loved ones and how to move from being critical and unintentionally hurtful to being more encouraging and uplifting.
It can work with children, spouses, co-workers and anyone with whom you want to be encouraging.
I made the content of the videos thinking about my clients, who are usually very hard and critical of themselves. I also thought about what I learned from working with teens and families.
The teenagers showed me firsthand how their experience of their parents’ communication style impacted them and how everything could change (for the better) when the parents learned to communicate in a more connecting way.

Also, forward this message to those friends who tend to be too hard on themselves.
And remember to be kind to yourself – and others!
