Summary
Many people grapple with destructive thought processes or a "critical inner voice" that directs their behavior and, to varying degrees, limits their lives. Using deeply personal and very human stories based on his own clinical practice, noted psychologist Robert W. Firestone illustrates the struggles of his clients to give words to this "enemy within", and in the process overcome its damaging influence. These revealing and captivating stories offer glimpses into the uniquely human relationship that develops in the therapeutic encounter and demonstrate the powerful impact that the experience has on both client and therapist.
Dr. Firestone is the originator of a therapeutic method called "Voice Therapy", by which clients learn to identify the language of the defense system and eventually separate their own point of view from its harmful effects. Each story provides an intimate look into one person's life, illuminates aspects of his or her "dark side", and highlights an important insight into the therapeutic process.
This sensitively written book will evoke emotional responses in listeners, and inspire them to take action to challenge the dictates of their own inner critic.

Quirky, often humorous, intriguing collection of insights into various patients
This book is a quirky collection of stories about various patients that Dr Firestone has worked with. The stories range from intriguing to downright odd and also include some of Dr Firestone’s professional experiences with other clinicians. It is at times amusing, moving, poignant and intriguing.

Thought provoking
I am going through therapy to combat my inner critic. I listened to the book and it brought home some coincidences between the cases and my own experiences. I think it was a good book and i will be listening again to help me understand why the inner critic controls so much of my life.

Not what I expected at all
The author seems obsessed with round breasts!! I wish I was joking!
Must’ve bought the wrong book as the voice therapy isn’t covered that much; it’s more of a therapists biography.
Yes, it is interesting but not for the reasons I was looking for - self help. Plus, there is a fictional story which I cannot honestly not understand why it’s included
