Nearly everyone has experienced the phenomenon of the alarm clock ringing at 5:30 AM.
· A part of you is adamant about staying in bed.
· Another part of you is responsible and wants to get out of bed.
· Still another part of you loves to play and is excited to get up BUT ONLY IF it means sneaking to the beach.
Inner struggle ensues.
This
is a simple demonstration
highlighting that we are composed
of many
Selves, many parts of
yourSelf, which is the basis of
the Voice
Dialogue method.
Voice Dialogue
is a Jungian based technique
developed by the Drs. Stone in the 1970's. The premise is
our personality is made up of
a family of internal Selves
or Sub-personalities.
As we grow up,
we identify with some
and reject others.
This over-identification with some Selves (examples include
your Protector Self or
Responsible Self or
even your Inner Critic)
and rejection of other Selves
(like your Lazy Self or Wild Self)
creates
imbalance,
blind spots,
stuckness,
and a general feeling of not being whole.
Voice Dialogue moves beyond
gaining insight. For many,
as the secret and
powerful intentions
of the Selves
are revealed through facilitations,
keys to
problem-solving,
letting go,
gaining courage and more
are presented
to long unresolved dilemmas.
Voice Dialogue often melts
black-and-white thinking.
It is an extremely powerful tool
that helps separate from a
dominant point of view,
which could include
breaking habits of:
anxiety,
depression,
negative thinking,
catastrophizing,
addiction,
eating disordered behaviors,
lack of creativity...
...any of which
can be part of a lifestyle of:
poor relationships,
poor physical/fiscal health,
poor decisions/indecision
& more...
Voice Dialogue
can lead you to savor a life of joy
as you ease towards your potential. |
