Mental Health Awareness - Inner Critic vs. Inner Child

Inside each of us is a wounded child longing to be seen—and a harsh voice telling us we’re never enough. In this deeply reflective episode of The Recovery Couch, Brandon Couch explores the battle between the inner critic and the inner child, and how it shapes our mental health, self-worth, and relationships. He shares how trauma and shame fuel the critic, and how compassion, curiosity, and faith can help us reconnect with the child within. If you're tired of the voice that constantly tears you down, this episode will guide you toward healing, gentleness, and inner peace.
