In one of our earliest Confront the Grey Voices workshops, we were invited to deliver a session for the Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Academy (CPTA)

a respected organisation training the next generation of counsellors.

Self-growth tools

It marked a meaningful moment for Grid Society: the opportunity to introduce our self-growth tools to a powerful audience preparing to guide others through the very same inner battles.

The workshop centred on one clear aim:

Helping them rethink their inner dialogue and strengthen it for the therapeutic spaces they will soon hold.

Defend yourself against the Inner Critic

Rooted in our Grid Mission 05 challenge, the workshop focused on practical strategies for moving beyond self-doubt. We proudly introduced the Grid Society Mindset Tools - a colour-coded system designed to help participants categorise their thoughts, track their emotional state, and move forward with clarity. Alongside this, we unveiled the 13-Step Defence Against the Inner Critic: a structured mental framework created to expose, dismantle, and override self-sabotaging thought patterns.

45 Workshop Insights

Out of 45 powerful reflections shared on the day, these 18 insights stand out. Together, they reveal the emotional shifts and breakthroughs that took place during our time together.

8 Insights about the workshop impact

I went from telling myself that I wasn't clever enough - to telling myself that I can - since I now have a Level 4 Diploma!!

Emotionally lighter.

This Workshop was an untangling of overlapping thoughts, answers and intentions - which in everyday life gets complicated.

It really struck a chord with me and brought things to life.

Practice being kinder to myself and enhance my positive self-talk to combat those demotivating and destructive beliefs.

I’ve never thought about my thoughts in that way, it was confronting - in a good way.

Amazing insightful and personally rewarding.

I loved looking at my evidence. Just thank you for coming.

These reflections are more than just feedback; they are evidence of change. Every insight shared reveals how deeply the Grid Society framework resonated with those in the room.

From self-awareness to mindset clarity, the transformation has already begun, and it continues every time someone chooses to confront their inner narrative differently.

About

Confront the

Grey Voices

Workshop

Overcome Your Inner Critic

This workshop is where you face the negative self-talk that keeps looping in your mind and holding you back.

You will learn how to spot the Grey Voices. Those thoughts that say, “You’re not ready. You’re not good enough. You might fail.” You will learn how to stop them, challenge them and replace them with tools that actually work in real life.

You will also learn how to find your Orange Voice. The voice that speaks with clarity, confidence and calm. But before you can hear it, you must confront the Grey Voices. The voices that fill your mind with doubt, hesitation and harsh words. We have three practical tools that help you do this, including the 13 Step Defence.

This is the workshop that shows you how to silence them so the real you can finally speak and take action without fear.
