😔 Hurt by criticism? You're not alone — but there may be more to it than pain.

Whether it’s about your work, your appearance, or something close to your heart, harsh feedback can knock your confidence and leave you questioning your worth. But what if there’s a deeper opportunity hidden inside the discomfort?

In this video, Dr Mike Drayton — psychologist, executive coach, and author — shares a powerful reframe: criticism might contain a small grain of truth worth exploring.

💡 Learn how to:

✅ Step back and reflect instead of reacting emotionally
✅ Notice repeated patterns in feedback
✅ Separate what's helpful from what's hurtful
✅ Use criticism as fuel for personal and professional growth

Criticism doesn’t have to define you — but it can refine you.
