Defences are an ingenious gift we give ourselves. They are strategies that help us get through adversity, trauma, and even survive. The child's mind and adult mind have unique ways of dealing with discomfort. In order to master yourself, you need to appreciate and grasp ALL levels of defences. That is, you have to grow conscious of what you are hiding from and why so the unconscious patterns cease to control your patterns of behaviour and projections. This allows you to form ‘the big picture’ of the way all the levels of defences interplay. Contact us for session details. Meanwhile, ponder 7 tips to gain new insight into the nature of your own defences:
1. Grow aware of childhood defence mechanisms
2. Get clear on adult defence tendencies
3. Explore character or personality structures that enable you to survive
4. Identify day-to-day behaviours that are defences in disguise
5. Connect defences with emotional blockages
6. Make shadows conscious & heal them
7. Allow effortless transformation to happen
(We all have a Self-Actualising’ Tendency that comes into play once our ‘blockages’ are removed. In other words, your dreams realize themselves when you know to get out of your own way)
