Listen "Internal Editor and Internal Saboteur"
Episode Synopsis
Utilizing Fairbairn’s (1952) concepts of the “internal saboteur” and the “anti-libidinal ego,” Dr. Kavaler-Adler discusses the “internal editor,” which haunts the would-be writer (or any other creative person) - by censoring what he/she might wish to say before he/she can say it. The internal editor is a composite derived from a multitude of parental (judgmental) ‘introjects’ that prompt shame and guilt in the face of creative desire.
