Families create profiles.
There's the 'group' picture: 'this is
who we are and what makes us different from them'…
And then there are the individual profiles:
'this is who you are'.
The individual snapshots are partly defined
by birth order and partly by early familial projections and needs...
"She's our smart one."
"He gets along with everyone."
"You're the oldest, take care of your sister."
"She's the youngest.
Isn't she cute!"
"Our middle son gets along with everyone and is so
easy."
Can you imagine the traps that might come
with these definitions?
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas…
Think about the
things that were said about you as a child.
Make a list of the
ways you might have been defined.
Ask yourself if
these things really fit for you.
Can you imagine that
these adjectives and descriptors are a robe that could be removed?
How might you feel?
What could your life
be like without the definitions that have come from others?
