How often did you feel hurt by someone's behavior when you were young? This automatic reaction often comes from feeling scorned, disrespected, used, abandoned, and/or misunderstood. Common responses are anger and aggression, "numbing out," denial, sub-mission, and/or withdrawal. Does that match your experience? A companion response is feeling resentful - "I don't deserve to be treated this way!" All children and most (all?) adults have a sensitive Inner Child who reacts to others' perceived disrespect by causing feelings of hurt and resentment, and related thoughts. If the host person is guided by their resident true Self and can com-municate effectively, this can lead to useful problem solving. If a false self controls the hurt person and/or s/he can't communicate effectively, this is apt to cause reciprocal revenge ("I'll hurt you back!"), fighting, and/or avoidances. Which of these describes you best? Project 1 in this nonprofit Web site provides an effective way to un-derstand, nurture, and harmonize normal personality subselves like your valuable Hurt / Resentful Child. detail / slides / Project-1 guidebook & links / skeptical? / Q&A / close |
