Is Your Inner Critic Destroying Your Potential (INFP Edition)
Education
How do you turn off that relentless, brutal INFP inner critic?
If you constantly struggle with self-blame, perfectionism, or replay past mistakes on a loop, this video will change how you view your mind. As an INFP, I know how easy it is to treat ourselves with harshness we would never show to another human being. But here is the secret: that critical voice isn't broken—it's actually trying to protect you.
In this video, I dive into the psychological concept of Ego States (Parts Work) and show you step-by-step how to negotiate with your inner critic using light trance, visualization, and self-compassion.
Here is what we cover in this episode:
The INFP Double Standard: Why we offer compassion to everyone else except ourselves.
The Neuroscience of Self-Blame: How ego states in the brain activate to protect you from risk.
Why Your Critic Exists: How positive intentions hide behind negative thoughts (survivability & connection).
A 4-Step Guided Process: How to meet your inner critic face-to-face and change its role.
Real Story Example: How I transformed my own performance anxiety and camera shyness using Parts Work.
By the end of this video, you will have a practical framework to stop beating yourself up and turn your inner critic into a powerful ally.
