The Critic
Positive Intention (what it wants for you):
How it tries to do that:
What's it afraid would happen if didn't do what it does:
Spend a lot of time making sure things are done perfectly
Review conversations had through the day to see if screwed up
Be harsh about errors so I don't repeat them ever again
Set high standards for myself
Compare my work, appearance, success etc to others
To be accepted and respected
Rejection, external criticism, being abandoned

Insight work through Self to part connection
Structural dissociation
Not aware that in state (trait)
Blunted, not responsive
Dorsal Sympathetic Ventral
Blended with a part
Not able to say "I'm in a part" but can name ANS state
Vagal brake
"What do you need from me to feel safe and connected right now?"
In a dorsal state, and less able to connect with therapist
Therapist helps to coregulate to resolve dissociation
