SUMMARY:Exploring the Inner Critic with an Art Therapist
DESCRIPTION:Join licensed psychotherapist and clinical art therapist Summer Myers for an experiential workshop exploring the voice of the inner critic through art-making and reflective discussion. \n\n\n\nThis session offers a grounded\, accessible introduction to how self-criticism operates\, and how we might begin to relate to it with more curiosity and compassion.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will engage in real-time art-making exercises designed to support reflection on self-criticism and self-compassion. No art experience is required\, and there is no emphasis on skill or outcome. This is a process-focused space where participants are invited to engage at their own comfort level. Gentle group discussion will be offered\, with full autonomy over what\, if anything\, is shared.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop also introduces foundational concepts from art therapy and parts work (including Internal Family Systems–informed ideas)\, offering a basic framework for understanding inner dialogue and the “parts” of ourselves that show up in moments of judgment or pressure.  \n\n\n\nWe hope participants leave with a new perspective on the inner critic\, a basic introduction to art therapy and parts work (IFS-informed)\, and an experience of using art-making as reflection rather than outcome. Artwork created in session is optional to keep or leave behind.  \n\n\n\nParticipants are welcome to bring magazines\, photographs\, or other collage elements to incorporate into their work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer Myers is a licensed psychotherapist\, clinical art therapist\, and educator whose work centers on perfectionism\, awe\, wonder\, and creativity. She’s never encountered an art medium she doesn’t like or a human she hasn’t learned from. Summer is the founder of Already Good: The Anti-Perfectionism Project\, and she practices therapy across California\, Utah\, and Ohio\, with an office in Hudson. She lives with her family and two chaotic dogs.
