The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Is Judgment Holding You Back?

Ep #31: Is Judgment Holding You Back?

April 6, 2022

As a coach, one of the things we’re supposed to do is listen to our clients’ fears, regrets, insecurities, or mistakes without judgment. We create a safe place where we actively listen, ask questions, and find solutions. Now, the listening part is fairly easy, but when it comes to holding space and setting judgments aside, that is more difficult. 

Practicing nonjudgment takes time and practice under any circumstances, whether it’s with your friends, partner, or anyone else. So if you find yourself reverting to judgment during challenging conversations or difficult circumstances relating to other people or yourself, this episode is for you.

Judgment is something that comes up in every facet of life, so tune in this week to discover why it’s so easy to turn to judging others, and why we need to stop. I’m sharing how judging others is so damaging for our own mental and physical health, and what we can do to try something different.
