Why do we attack ourselves when something goes wrong?
Easy target?
Illusion of control?
You know, 'if I caused it, I can fix it'?
And how did we develop this self inflicted pain
strategy?
Did you ever come home from school and tell your
parents about a problem… and their first response was: "Well, what did you do to cause
it?"
Hmmm…
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
UNDOING RETROFLEXION
You can think about it like
this:
Something happens and we have a
reaction - an energy surge. At this
point we have a choice about what we do with that energy…
We can direct it out into the
world in many different ways or…
We can direct it inward and use
ourselves as the target.
Think about the last time something like this happened
to you…
What choice did you make about
how to direct your energy?
Did your choice work well for
you?
Might another choice have been
more effective?
