I don't think introspection is necessarily self-driven. If a psychologist tells me to examine my thoughts, and so I do, am I not introspecting?

You can replace psychologist with any form of living or non-living derived stimulus but it's only a trigger. Whether you actually engage with introspection, or just react, is still within your control and up to you to guide.

But it gets into the weeds of whether or not we're operating on a shared understanding of what introspection means.

I think it's the different between a psychologist saying "examine your thoughts", and the psychologist saying "examine your thoughts, and please reach x conclusion"
