What is Depression: An Investigation Into "Bad" Introjects

Описание: In this conversation, we discuss the origins and impact of self-criticism in major depressive disorder. I explain that self-reproaches often stem from early experiences of abandonment, criticism, or abuse by caregivers, which become internalized as critical introjects. These introjects, or internal images of parental figures, can lead to a decline in self-esteem and self-regard. I try to emphasize the importance of recognizing and challenging this critical voice through therapy and introspection, leading to a transformation towards self-compassion and resilience.

✅Takeaways
👉"Depression is thought to be a struggle with these internal images, basically images of these parental critical figures."
👉"The severity of this ruthlessness, this inner critical voice is very common amongst almost all the patients that I treat with depression."
👉"With each moment of introspection, this self-critical voice begins to diminish, replaced by a newfound sense of self-compassion."
