In this session of Untangling the Mind, Andrew explores the inner critic through the lens of mindfulness and early Buddhist teachings. Drawing on the Buddhist teaching of the “second arrow,” he examines self-judgment, overthinking, perfectionism, and the stories the mind creates when fear, insecurity, or inadequacy arise. Andrew discusses how suffering often deepens when criticism is added on top of an already difficult experience, and how mindfulness and compassion can help us relate differently to these patterns. Rather than trying to eliminate the inner critic, this practice invites us to meet it with greater awareness, kindness, and understanding. Prompt: What's a common phrase or message your inner critic tends to say?Talk segment that complements the sit portion on Inner CriticGroup Date: 5/19/2026

In this session of Untangling the Mind, we explore the patterns of people-pleasing and ask how we can remain kind without disappearing in the process. Drawing on early Buddhist teachings around craving, clinging, and wise intention, we look at how the desire for approval, fear of conflict, and the impulse to control others' discomfort can quietly pull us away from ourselves. Together, we examine the difference between genuine compassion and what's been called "idiot compassion" — giving people what they want rather than what they need to avoid witnessing suffering — and consider how identities like "the reliable one" or "the easy one" can become subtle forms of suffering. Prompt: Which is your default? Nice (people pleaser, must be liked, socially acceptable behavior) or Kind (Aligned with self first, empathetic, genuine)?
