There are a lot of games that narcissists play, but one game I’ve never heard mentioned is the game of state transference.
Transference (or repetition compulsion) happens a lot in abusive relationships where the abuser will replay their trauma onto or in front of you without any acknowledgment or awareness that they are doing so. The problem is that the narcissist doesn’t care that they are replaying their trauma by abusing us, and so they have no motivation to stop.
State transference is when someone changes their emotional state to match another person. Then, they intentionally switch into a new emotional state, and the other person unconsciously follows them. In this way, state transference is a form of manipulation and control over another person’s emotions because it allows them to hook into us on a deep subconscious level. Sometimes, they will even do this by changing their body language to match yours...

The Misfit's Guide To Manifesting

The Misfit's Guide To Manifesting

There’s a manifestation technique where you practice thinking, feeling, and believing that you already have the things you want in the present tense. Maybe you’ve tried it. Maybe you’ve tried saying affirmations to yourself. Maybe you’ve prayed your heart out to the universe and in spite of all the visualizing and the praying and the begging with every ounce of desire that you have… nothing happens.

Do you feel like a misfit who is always swimming against the current? Are you looking at the people around you wondering how they all seem to float by so effortlessly? Does it feel like you’re a fish alone in a mob of monkeys, being judged for your ability to climb a tree? Do you feel like an alien who took a wrong turn and found yourself on a planet with people who don’t understand the way you function at all?

The common advice is that you just need to work harder. To finally have the things you want and need, you just need to do more. So you do work harder, and when you don’t get there, you think you must not be working hard enough. You must not be trying hard enough. You just need to read another book or take another class until you can get to the bottom of what you’re doing wrong.

I’m here to tell you there is nothing wrong with you. You’re a highly sensitive person trying to operate in a world that has become numb to the soul of humanity. Welcome to modern-day earth, where dysfunction is the norm, not the exception.

If you’re struggling or feeling stuck, I’m here to give you some strategies that might help. I hope you will find your ailment and the remedy somewhere in this recording. If you need a little extra support, this is a gentle reminder that I offer coaching services, and your first session is totally free.

Reasons For INFJs And INFPs To Not Start A Podcast

Reasons For INFJs And INFPs To Not Start A Podcast

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

As an INFJ, I've been struggling with starting a podcast for a long time. On top of that, I wanted to post the video versions to Youtube which added an extra layer of anxiety. So, for my first episode, I decided to talk about all my reasons for not wanting to start a podcast. 

My hope is that over time, I will get more comfortable, my audio and video will get better, and I can add some cool editing. But in this noisy online world, I think that content is really what's important. We have these wallets of energy that we get to spend how we like each day, and while I could spend that energy on fancy gear and professional editing, I would rather use that energy on learning things that I can share with you.

So if you're thinking of starting your own project, I encourage you to start where you're at, and let it be "good enough". For INF personality types, our projects don't manifest like buildings with deadlines and blueprints. They manifest like gardens. We can't grow our creations in perfect straight lines. We can put deadlines on harvesting. We have to just let it happen naturally. Don't wait for your garden to be finished growing. Let your audience watch and contribute as you go.
