We all do it — scroll, compare, question our worth, repeat.

But what if comparison wasn’t the enemy… what if it’s just information?

In this episode of Automatic Mouth, we break down the difference between comparing and competing, how comparisonitis fuels imposter syndrome, and why your brain is wired to keep score even when no one’s playing.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Reframe comparison into clarity

✅ Compete only with your past self

✅ Use NLP tools like submodalities to literally rewire your self-perception

👄 Automatic Mouth — real talk for the mind that never stops thinking.

What if your fear of being judged isn’t about others — but about protecting who you think you are? Let’s unpack social phobia, identity, and courage to be seen.

In this final episode of the Personality Psychology series, Alison zooms out to explore how personality theories actually show up in everyday life — from boardrooms to bedrooms to the algorithm-driven worlds of social media.

We’ll unpack how profiling tools like DISC, MBTI, and the Big Five are used (and misused) in hiring, dating, branding, and identity formation — and what that says about the human need to understand, label, and belong.

It’s a big-picture reflection on the psychology of personality… and the personalities of psychology.

Why do we behave the way we do? Freud blamed our unconscious desires, Maslow built a pyramid of needs, and the Big Five reduced us to five dimensions on a chart. In this episode of Automatic Mouth, we zoom out to explore the big frameworks of personality psychology—what they overlap on, what they get wrong, and what they completely miss.

We’ll cover:

• Freud’s unconscious drives and defense mechanisms

• Maslow and Rogers’ humanistic turn toward growth and potential

• The rise of trait psychology, from Eysenck to the Big Five (OCEAN)

• How these theories connect—and where they fall short

• Why your personality is more than just traits on a test

Are you an INFP? An ESTJ? Or maybe you’ve been told you’re a Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green.

These personality profiles are everywhere—workplaces, dating apps, trainings. But where did they come from? And are they helping us grow… or just boxing us in?

In this episode of Automatic Mouth, Alison traces it all back to Carl Jung. Jung introduced four ways people process the world: sensing, thinking, feeling, and intuition. Those ideas grew into MBTI and later colour-coded personality systems.

✨ In this conversation:

• Jung’s four functions, simplified

• How MBTI became the four-letter craze

• The rise of Red/Blue/Yellow/Green systems

• Why profiling tools are fascinating and flawed

• How to use them as springboards—not handcuffs

Because you’re not just four letters. You’re not just a colour. You’re a whole damn palette.

What did Jung really mean when he first introduced “Extraversion” and “Introversion”?

Spoiler: it wasn’t “outgoing vs shy.” It was about where your energy flows ⚡️ outward into the world 🌏, or inward into reflection 🪞.

But somewhere along the way, these ideas became sticky labels we slap on ourselves:

👉 “I’m just an introvert, so I can’t…”

👉 “I’m an extrovert, so don’t expect me to…”

Here’s the problem: those labels become handcuffs. Instead of self-awareness, they turn into self-limitations.

In this episode of Automatic Mouth 👄, I unpack Jung’s original idea, strip it back to something simple and usable, and share my own perspective: we’re not here to box ourselves in—we’re here to expand. Knowing your patterns is just the starting point. Growth happens when you explore the other side.

🎧 In this conversation:

• Jung’s true meaning of extraversion & introversion (beyond pop stereotypes)

• Why labels are useful only when they expand, not restrict

• How NLP & psychology agree: awareness = choice = possibilities

• A simple exercise to stretch beyond your comfort zone

So next time someone tells you “you’re such an introvert” or “you’re such an extrovert,” smile and remember 😘 you’re more than the label. You’re the whole terrain.

Trauma isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body. In this episode of Automatic Mouth, Alison explores Peter Levine’s groundbreaking book Waking the Tiger and the somatic tools it inspired for healing and nervous system regulation.You’ll learn how to:

• Tune into your body instead of overriding it
• Track subtle sensations like tension, heat, or fluttery feelings
• Slow down and give your system space to recalibrate
• Use grounding and safe memories to build resilience
• Trust your body’s natural release (yes, shaking, sighing, or tears are part of healing)

Alison also guides you through short, practical exercises for each tool so you can experience Somatic Experiencing in real time. Please pause the episode if you’re driving or doing anything that requires your full attention — these practices work best when you can sit safely and focus.

Automatic Mouth is where psychology, mindset, and personal growth collide. Subscribe now to keep exploring tools that help you live with more presence, resilience, and authenticity.

In this final chapter of the Hermetic Principles series, Alison explores the Principle of Gender — the universal dance between masculine and feminine energy. This isn’t about biology or stereotypes; it’s about the energetic forces that drive creation, balance, and growth.

From Jung’s anima/animus to Taoist yin-yang, from burnout culture to the art of creativity, Alison breaks down how these two energies show up in psychology, philosophy, NLP, and your everyday life.
