Judgment

The last five weeks, I wrote about mind trap choice, how defenses can hijack you, how learned behaviors influence mind traps, power issues, and circumstance & context. Here’s number five in the mind trap arsenal - judgment.

Judgment. More specifically a lack of or lessened capacity of judgement. In this context, judgment is an ego function. Judgement is the ability to anticipate consequences of behavior, awareness of consequences, and the extent to which maladaptive behavior is repeated. Judgement helps us sense danger and recognize patterns of behavior that cause positive and negative consequences.
