The Inner Critic Lies with Albert Bramante

Ep. 145. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Albert Bramante—talent agent, psychologist, and all-around mind magician—to unpack the truth behind the inner critic, self-sabotage, and how we can rewrite the limiting stories we tell ourselves. We explore the link between childhood programming and adult behavior, the role of the shadow self in creative growth, and how hypnosis, NLP, and even body posture can help transform your self-concept.Albert shares actionable insights on reframing your inner dialogue, stepping into vulnerability, and using subconscious tools to unlock your potential. And we wrap it up by swapping real-life stories of times we almost got conned, proving that intuition and insight go a long way in both personal growth and street smarts.Segments:​00:00 — Introduction to the Inner Critic​05:15 — Understanding the Inner Critic​10:34 — Integrating the Shadow Self​15:14 — Facing Fears and Rewriting Stories​21:33 — Hypnosis and Rituals in Subconscious Work​26:57 — NLP and Language Patterns​30:17 — Posture and Self-Concept​38:57 — Vulnerability and AuthenticityAlbert's BioDr. Albert Bramante is a seasoned talent agent with more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Walden University.
