1. Respond to the following question. Be sure to address your peer by name when you make your response.

Reflect on the FSI Case Study Family and describe how you would work with any one of the three of them on this issue. How might they be second guessing themself? What messages might they be receiving from their pathological inner critic in addition to external forces (family, friends, classmates, outside institutions, etc.)
