"Thanks to Marissa I can now decide how to respond when I don’t want to take in the criticism"

Quick summary

Gabriela transformed her relationship with criticism and rejection. Once deeply affected by others' opinions, they learned to recognize criticism as just an opinion, gaining the power to choose what to accept and what to let go.

Before this program I was very affected by rejection. I took on others opinion of me as the “truth”. My self identity was very fragile and dependent on what others thought. After this program, I can more easily see that what other say is merely an opinion and I can decide to take it in or not. Specially when it comes to criticism, thanks to Marissa I can now decide how to respond when I don’t want to take in the criticism
