Psychological Blind Spots: Emotional patterns & defenses that protect an overwhelmed psyche.
I love sharing on Instagram and then offering a deeper dive here on my Substack. If you want to scroll through the carousel, you can find the original IG post here.
Paid subscribers receive access to all 10 audio recordings of the hidden blessing in each of these blind spots, deep-dive journal prompts for each psychological blind spot, and my retelling of a special fairy tale that captures the spirit of this concept.
Free previews are available for the first blind spot.
I have included my psychological thriller rendition of a fairy tale at the end that is meant to activate and stir the caldron of the psyche.
Imagine if Stephen King and Ann Rule had a love child that rewrote fairy tales. That’s how one of my dear clients described my retellings :)
There are instructions on activating the ‘imaginal’ qualities of the psyche regarding working with shadow to retrieve hidden wisdom through the fairy tale.
1. Blind Spot #1: Perfectionism
Journal prompts for perfectionism:
• What early messages did I receive about mistakes and self-worth?
• How do I react when I see imperfections in others?
• What am I afraid will happen if I fail or show flaws?
• How does perfectionism prevent me from experiencing joy and spontaneity?
• What small imperfection can I embrace today as a step toward healing?
