15. Introjection: When the Critic Isn’t Yours - But You Obey It Anyway... Freud Made Me Do It!
You’re not lazy. You’re not unlovable.
You’re running code that was planted in you before you had a choice.
This episode exposes the brutal truth about introjection -the unconscious adoption of beliefs, rules, and voices that aren’t yours… but shape every decision you make. The shame you carry? The self-talk that cuts you down? The limits you think are “just reality”? None of it started with you.
You’ll learn:
How authority figures hijack your inner voice
Why your self-image is often built from someone else’s dysfunction
How to spot the false rules you've been obeying
The one question that starts the process of ejecting the introject - for good
This isn’t mindset fluff. This is psychic deprogramming.
If your inner critic sounds suspiciously like a parent, a teacher, or a figure from childhood.. this episode is your wake-up call.
