The Four Buddies represent key inner aspects of ourselves—distinct voices within the mind that each play a unique role in how we think, feel, and respond to life.
Rather than viewing our internal dialogue as chaotic or conflicting, this model helps us recognise these parts as a supportive inner team, each with its own perspective and purpose.
By identifying and understanding these internal characters, we can better regulate critical, judgmental, or fearful thought patterns. More importantly, we learn how to listen to them with curiosity rather than react to them automatically, allowing for greater emotional resilience, self-compassion, and mental clarity.
