Shadé Zahrai delves into the concept of self-deception and its impact on our lives. She identifies the behavioral and cognitive patterns that differentiate the most successful and fulfilled individuals from the rest, pinpointing the ‘inner deceiver’ as the main obstacle to personal growth and accomplishment.
The inner deceiver: a barrier to potential
The inner deceiver, a critical voice within us, can hinder personal growth and potential.
It manifests in five common forms: the classic judge, the victimizer, the misguided protector, the ringmaster, and the neglector.
Each archetype plays a distinct role in undermining self-confidence and hindering progress.
The classic judge: a critic within
The classic judge is a form of the inner deceiver that constantly criticizes and blames.
This internal voice prevents individuals from learning from past failures and impedes personal development.
The good news is that change is possible, you can break free from these limits. The first step is awareness. – Shadé Zahrai
