The 4 Stress Sub-personalities
The Worrier – They create mental worst case scenarios and what if statements. They overestimate the odds.
The Perfectionist – They believe their efforts are never good enough and should be working harder. Ask the questions above to combat your inner perfectionist.
The Critic – Constantly negatively judging themselves maximizing their weaknesses and minimizing strengths.
“You are so stupid,” (Show Chris Farley Video)
The Victim – They feel helpless and hopeless, defective, and use words like “I can’t or I’ll never be able to…”
Ask these questions for all types: Ask what is the evidence, is it always true, what are the odds, what is the big picture?
