n. One who allows or permits.

Usage examples of "allower".

In response to these injunctions we give ourselves instructions, some of these self-messages are helpful in counteracting the injunctions, called allowers, and some are harmful, called drivers.

We could, of course, learn to give ourselves a more realistically helpful message, an allower, such as "It's OK to be yourself and less than perfect.

If you give yourself a lot of upsetting "Be Perfect" or "Hurry Up" or "Try Harder" or "Don't Be Emotional" messages, develop some "Allower" messages: It's okay to make mistakes, to take my time, to act on my feelings, to assert myself, to be average, etc.
