ESTJ and ESFJ: Si Parent (Introverted Sensing)

The second function in your cognitive stack is known as the Mother/Father/"Parent" function. This function serves to balance you by operating in the opposite attitude of your dominant function. In this episode, we talk about how Introverted Sensing (Si) presents in the second position (For the ESFJ and the ESTJ). We also cover topics like projections, parenting styles, and complexes. These patterns of mental processes can manifest in a variety of ways that can hinder our ability to be our best selves and impact our relationships.
