This workbook is a full call out of the voice inside you that feels real, sounds convincing, and wrecks your confidence every chance it gets. Your brain treats emotion like truth. Every shame spike, guilt hit, fear flash, and “I’m failing” moment gets encoded as fact. This workbook shows you why that happens, where it comes from, and how those emotional “truths” have been building your reality since childhood without your consent.
You break down your inner critic archetypes, the loops they trap you in, the cognitive distortions they weaponize, and the emotional logic your brain keeps falling for.
Then you learn how to separate feelings from facts, question emotional patterns, challenge false narratives, and take your mental steering wheel back from the feelings that keep hijacking it.

Your brain does not look for truth. It looks for emotional agreement. This workbook works because it exposes the emotional wiring behind your beliefs, not the beliefs themselves. You learn how your brain interprets emotion as evidence, how patterns form, why your inner critic’s voice feels so convincing, and how to pull the story apart without triggering a defensive shutdown.
Emotional charge becomes data instead of identity
Distortions lose their power once you see the pattern
Critic voices become predictable instead of overwhelming
Neutral observation rewires emotional meaning
Visualization interrupts old emotional loops
Self preservation becomes easier to redirect

Nope! You get simple, clear explanations written in plain language.
Is this therapy?
Absolutely not. No products from Your Mind Is Full of Shift should ever be considered as or used as a substitute for therapy. I'll be the first person to tell you that if you *think* you need to see a licensed therapist then you should. They'll tell you if it's not warranted. These products are a compliment to therapy - and goes great when used in a session! This product is psychological, pattern-based self work. It uses grounded clinical principles without pretending to be therapy.
