Your Internal Managers Are Exhausted and Need Your Attention | NowShift August 07, 2025
Manage episode 499031199 series 3680288
Inside all of us is a dedicated team of internal “managers” — the parts of our personality that organize, plan, and keep life on track. They operate with a single unspoken mantra:
“Never again will I be caught off guard.”
In this episode of Antifragilient OS – NowShift Daily Transmissions, Dr. Abhimanyou Raathore (Clinical Psychologist & Functional Medicine Practitioner) unpacks the hidden dynamics of these psychological protectors — how they keep you functioning, and what happens when they get overburdened.
When balanced, managers are your greatest allies — reliable, capable, and steady. But under strain, they can morph into perfectionists, inner critics, or controlling voices that never let you rest. They push you to “get it done” while quietly carrying the weight of keeping you safe.
The breakthrough comes when these managers are unburdened — freed from fear-driven overprotection. In this state, they become wise advisors, patient caregivers, and visionary leaders who use their skills in service of real growth rather than relentless control.
Through Dr. Raathore’s guided self-reflection, you’ll:
- Spot your own manager parts in action
- Understand their fears and motivations
- Recognize the ways they’ve protected you over the years
- Learn how to thank them — and lead them into balance
🎧 Listen now and discover how to support the hardest-working parts of yourself so they can finally support you.
