Thawing Your Life Scripts
In this episode I blend my Iceberg Model, Life Scripts & Parts Matrix Model with Precision-CBT to find freedom from the reactivity of Life Scripts and their impact on our automatic thoughts, emotional response, and behavioral choices. The video highlights the importance of addressing these underlying influences to foster personal growth and healing.
What You Will Learn:
Conscious vs. Unconscious Mind
The conscious mind operates like a computer screen, displaying only a fraction of our mental processing. In contrast, the unconscious mind functions as a hard drive, storing vast amounts of data and programming that influence our thoughts and behaviors without our awareness.
Life Scripts
Life scripts are patterns formed from our early life experiences, particularly those before the age of seven. These scripts dictate our emotional responses and behavioral choices, often leading us to reactively repeat negative patterns throughout our lives.
Core Beliefs
Core beliefs are deeply rooted beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world, often shaped by negative experiences. These beliefs influence our assumptions and coping strategies, impacting our overall mental emotional, and interpersonal health.
Examples of Life Scripts
Some common life scripts include self-sacrifice and submissiveness, and defectiveness and shame, which arise early life experiences. These scripts can lead to reactivity, emotional regulation problems, and a lack of trust & safety in relationships, particularly when developed from unpredictable or abusive parental figures.
Actionable Advice
For those looking to address their life scripts, the video suggests two approaches: Learn to effectively challenge automatic negative thoughts to change our emotions and behavior, or seek intensive therapy for deeper issues. Recognizing and reframing these thoughts can significantly alter emotional responses and behaviors. Open a Free account at Serenity Cafe to download the tools and access more videos like this.
