Inner critic
A modern evidence-informed companion scene: separate a useful request from a global attack on the self.
evidence-informed-self-critic-companion-v1 · MODERN_EVIDENCE_INFORMED · CUSTOMER_SCENE
Useful modern practice; not a Jungian Shadow diagnosis.
When it fits
- ✦ starting is hard because evaluation arrives too early
- ✦ criticism is global—‘I am bad’—rather than specific
- ✦ action needs to return
Not for this
- ✧ replacing facts, medical, legal, or financial advice
- ✧ compulsively repeating the same question
- ✧ reading someone else's life without boundaries
Key images
Editor: edits the text without destroying the author.
Draft: existence first, evaluation second.
Instruction: a concrete change instead of an insult.
How to read this scene
Extract a testable request
If there is a useful task inside it, rewrite it as a concrete action.
Drop the insult
A global attack on identity does not become useful merely because it is internal.
Small practice
Rewrite one critic sentence as: ‘Change ___ by ___’, with no statement about your worth.
This scene is a modern companion practice, not evidence of Jungian Shadow.
