The Observer, Confidant, Coach, and Sage serve as metaphorical representations of the right hemisphere of the brain, embodying supportive, intuitive, and encouraging qualities. These roles complement the analytical and logical functions of the dominant left hemisphere, illustrating the interplay between emotional insight and rational thought.

This approach encourages the consideration of diverse perspectives and the reframing of thoughts, which ultimately leads to greater clarity. By recognising and understanding these negative aspects, we can integrate and engage with all aspects of ourselves, paving the way for more profound and lasting transformations.
