And that’s why, on the positive side, people with dominant Judge Imposters are often levelheaded, even-tempered individuals with an uncanny ability to stay centered.

They have a sense of right and wrong, and a tendency to ignore personal biases in the interest of upholding high standards.”

This might sound simple, and it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Giving yourself permission to really grieve is difficult in our fast-paced world, where you’re supposed to “move on” as quickly as possible. But our inner worlds don’t operate according to the clock.”
