The inner child

Please read this. If you go to the post below, you will see a series of comments. Some would be enquiring and others challenging. But note also the vicious attacks. This will come from a traumatised mind.

One of the reasons why it is so hard to be a Counsellor is that the patient will fight back and sometimes fight back viciously depending on the severity of the case. It's the sick inner child resisting growing up. The application of that work is not only to ourselves and our inner demons. I was mildly surprised to find that the work also closely resembles our relationships and conversation with the outside world after completing it.

It affects communities and society at large too. And if it can be resolved, the mind stills and the drama lessens. And progress is then possible. I just want to warn the readers that this is a common phenomenon. It is a good thing that the sick side of chess has shown its face. Dont be alarmed.

Remember, the fears have to be raised from the subconscious before it can be resolved.

Note: One of the factors that drive group dynamics is not the spoken topic but the unspoken ones. The one in everybody's mind but left unsaid. The group's behaviour is often determined by that.

So much for my day off. :)

  1. Go for your break, R.

    There will always be someone who sees the glass half empty, though you have worked had to get that much water.

    We can't changed all of their minds. Only the special ones can see it half full!

  3. "Remember, the fears have to be raised from the subconscious before it can be resolved."

    have u ever heard for NLP? 'em experts would strongly disagree with ur statement.

    fears can be resolved in many ways. reframing, meta modeling, the list goes on.

    classical therapy ie revisiting fears to handle 'em is no longer the penultimate solution.

  4. I think the word you are looking for is ultimate. Yes I have heard of NLP and know many of it's so called experts. I have also studied the subject in depth. I have asked many of them to do own their inner child work. NLP doesnt work. Please do not talk about what you do not understand. NLP is just another form of avoidance. If you are an expert then start your own blog and show your expertise in it. Do not attempt to pretend to know. It damages others. Do not be a fraud. Consider carefully first and also do your own research.
