The UNFOLDING SELF
Virginia Satir used the terms, "beliefs, "family rules" and "survival messages" interchangeably.
She believed that as children we behave according to our family's rules in order to survive. These beliefs should be blessed for helping us survive
but some may be hindering us now in terms of our ability to express ourselves or interact effectively as adults.
When We Find Ourselves
- unable to feel or unaccepting of our feelings,
- reluctant to take risks, stuck in our fear, hesitant to share our thoughts and feelings,
- unaware of our wants or frightened to ask for what we want,
- denying what is going on around us,
|
"We are probably stuck in past experiences, assumptions."
-The Secrets of Satir, Sharon Loeschen
