How to use your INNER CRITIC to reach your goals‍️ Shadow Work & the Critic Function

Thank you, very usefull ❤

Niiiiiccccceeee, concise and! deep founded

This is very useful for addressing what I don't like about myself in a constructive way. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this 😂

What mic is that? It's really cute ✨️

Oh this is so good! I really appreciate the information you gave here in regards to shadow work and Mbti. I have been pursuing my own shadow work through the lens of spirituality and using my own astrological chart as a tool to pinpoint the areas in my subconscious that need the most help that way. I had no idea that mbti could be used in a similar fashion! I am familiar with mbti but had never delved too deeply into it before. Hearing you explain about the deeper cognitive functions and understanding your inner critic through that lens is super fascinating! This is going to be a new rabbit hole I'll enjoy going down after seeing this video :) My type is INTJ, btw.
Thank you for such an informative and helpful video! 🌱

Wow so good. As a fellow INFP, THANKYOU.

So preety 😮

This video is sooo underrated. I've been meaning to come around a way to understanding "The self" and self-actualise, and Carl Jung has done some fabulous work. Thank you for bringing this into light. Subbd!

Can you recommend a book, which I can refer to understand this more deeply? (Specifically to understand "the self")

what an absolute gem! you just gave us the blueprint to solving almost everything internally. Good work, it’s much appreciated.

I’ve been very interested in psychology and self development for years. This has to be one of the best videos on self growth that’s I’ve ever seen on YT ❤

Your video on shadow work really resonated with me. I noticed some interesting synchronicities with my own work in this area. I’d love to hear more about your perspective if you’re interested.

Take care.

I am INFJ

you nailed this video. so thorough, practical and coherent. well done 🫡

your insight and way of explaining these concepts is the best i have seen.. thankyou so much.. you are really helping me figure out things I've struggled with and self sabotaged in in life for so many years

when doing difficult things i found it helps a huge amount to just do even small steps to build up doing the thing.. then to be super kind to ourselves and take time to just relax and recover by doing things we find really nice to do, be comfy, watch some comedies etc, to recover from the stress, then on another day or later try to do more things to build up getting closer to our goals.. but being super kind to ourselves when we need it helps a huge amount, as well as pushing ourselves a little bit TO Start to do the things we want to build up

i found this through years of trying to recover from ptsd and full on depression and i think it helps a lot, so i hope this helps people get through tough times faster

Best wishes to you all

that's a Great idea! using our inner critic to help us find ways we can make things better! Very good idea! your insight is awesome and i hugely appreciate you trying to help us as even in this one day I've found your videos you have profoundly helped me get insight into things that have kept me self sabotaging myself and being hard on myself about, due to critisisms i got when i was little, for so many years

if you feel things will go bad, i find it helps a lot to tell yourself "but it might work!" :)

and "think of what IS the problem and then what is a solution to that problem, or how can i get TO my aim (as some problems can just be stepped past and don't actually need solved, just avoided (such as,"how can i make my partner treat me with respect" .. turn that into "i walk away from them because they do not treat me with respect" :)

Watching this for the third time while painting 🪬

Expertly broken down, I've just begun unraveling some of the Critic Fi issues that I've been holding onto. Also it's interesting to see how an INFP sees their critic Ni, because I have an INFP friend who, although not interested in the container of MBTI, has a strong resistance to his own Critic Ni and often bounces against my Ni. It's as if he uses his Ne to keep seeing alternatives, and as you said, it can be both positive and negative using the Auxiliary so exclusively. Like actually ignoring Critic Ni seems from my perspective like jumping off a cliff and not looking where you're landing.

For myself, I've been in the grip of a terrible Fe/Fi conundrum for a while. Fe tells me to connect to people, but Fi says only via the values that they EXACTLY care about in the moment or I'm a bad or annoying person,and so Fe wants to be responsible and just directs me into doing what they want or nothing at all. And then I feel bad because I'm not building connections that are valuable to me as well. My solution to this is to treat Fi as a postmortem( like you have) of 'have I been good or bad?' and so Fe (along with Te) can act as 'it doesn't matter what the connection is, a connection is a connection ' and 'just connect on what you want'.

Would be interested to see how you feel about Trickster Se!

I watched this 3 times. I appreciate how descriptive you were. I’m an INFJ and it’s wild how accurate my Ni-Fe-Ti-Se stack is. I’m excited to focus on 4, 6, and see how integrated 8 is.

Thank you for your work. Could you recommend a book by Jung or another author that discusses these topics in an accessible way? I'm asking because, even though you explain it in an excellent manner, there is still a language barrier. Besides, it would be nice to have this knowledge on hand. There's a lot of work :)

Thank you for this valuable video. I am just starting to getting know the topic of shadow work and Jung's psychological types. If I wanted to go deeper, is all these information from Jung's Psychological Types or his other works?...Or where would you recommend to start? Thank you.

thank you so much ☀what you are sharing is extremely clear and immensely helpful ☀ thank you 🙏

Apparently I am also INFP(-T) and my inner critic is savage

Ah almost! I though you were an INFJ ... :)

You could be a great CBT therapist. You are able to tear down the walls of paranoia with pure reason. Thank you for the high quality content, which approaches an almost mystical concept so logically.

thank u so much for making this content. not only u break complex themes and concepts down but u also do it with a great delivery

Wow. I’ve known about Jung for years. But your presentation speaks to the heart ❤️ is very inspirational and educational. Great work. I appreciate your care and passion with this important subject. I will watch this many times again!

Hey, I hope you like this video😊 A quote from Jung that inspired me while filming this: "The meaning and design of a problem seem not to lie in its solution, but in our working at it incessantly. This alone preserves us from stultification and petrification."

What's your mbti type/function stack? And how do you notice your critic function show up in your life? I'd be really curious to hear, and let me know if you have any questions!

(And to those of you who think your personality can’t be described by just a few letters, you’re right and that’s not what I mean to say by this! Even Jung says knowing someone’s psychological type tells you as much about their character as being able to describe their hair color as brown— it simply categorizes the different ways in which people select & reject information, and make decisions that shape them & their lives. Every conscious attitude is unique, and I'd love to hear about your experience✨)
