Personal Experiences And Relationships

Improved Essays
Relationships, with one’s self and others can be a source of great satisfaction, inclusive learning, and often a place of profound depth as well as a deep, heart opening experience.

I maintain that the connection with one’s self, taking into consideration the fact that we have been fully programmed by our family of origin, our society, religion and culture, is the first and primary relation that impacts all others.

I maintain that if we are truly inner-connected, meaning we are aware of our needs our thoughts, desires, fully aware of our shadow self; the place where we hide what we can’t accept about who we are, and aware of all our emotions, not just the one’s that society, religion, culture, and families deem worthy, but all our emotions.

Some of these clients have been especially disturbed around the notion of answerability, the idea of one being fully liable for their behavior. Many of us have developed a certain amount of accountability, at least to others, yet still have trouble holding our selves answerable for the ways we treat our selves, our bodies, our minds, and our hearts which are often abandoned by us. While still others seem to be more like foreigners when it comes to seeing the impact their behavior has on their loved ones and them …show more content…
I enjoy using my detective abilities, scanning the entire issue, dissecting the full conflict, where it started, why, where it leads, why, and how to navigate stealthily through the tricks, the illusions, and the fears that can immobilize us into non-action, this is thoroughly satisfying for me. The goal of such a session is to empower one once again by connecting them with the authority and livelihood, the truth and purity, of their emotions that never lie.

What I know is that without commitment to thorough accountability even when it hurts to acknowledge one 's responsibility, yet to do so is a testament of self love, without the courage of conviction to be impeccably accountable for one 's actions, all of them, there is no honesty, no authentic intimacy, and no hope, for a real and lasting bridge, providing a beautiful path to the unfathomable, opulent, depths of human

    The Internal Working Model is carried on throughout a person’s life and works as a cognitive framework of rational illustrations that aids in the understanding of our environment, the self, and our interaction with other people. In addition, it contains personal memories and expectations that actively guides a person’s social behavior (Bretherton, & Munholland, 1999), which are manifested through our thoughts and behaviors associated with closeness to others, when seeking support, and the ensuing sense of “safety and security” (Bowlby, 1988). Adults are continuously influenced by their initial infant-caregiver attachment bond in forming social intimate relationships, this type of attachment is now what we formally call as the “Adult Attachment…

    Edward Said once wrote “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift between a human being and a native place, between the self and it’s true home: its essential sadness cannot be surmounted,” however Said also stated exile can be “a potent, even enriching” experience. The Poisonwood Bible, a novel written by author, Barbara Kingsolver, features a young girl, Leah Price, who experiences exile in both of these manners and is completely changed by her experience while living in the Congo as a missionary’s daughters. Leah Price is exiled from her father, her homeland, and her entire belief system, all of which she believed defined her as a young woman. Through this ostracism Leah develops her own sense of self and is able to grow…

    In the beginning of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “In the realm of the purely personal - after food, water, and shelter - the quality of relationships most often determines the quality of life” (p. 3). I believe this statement perfectly sums up how vital and necessary human relationships are for human life, and the strong impact they play on having a positive and meaningful life. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 1 - 12. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships. In order to have a purposeful life and a greater understanding of relationships, there are many crucial concepts that must be understood, three of them are differentiation of self, thinking systems, and the relationship pattern of cutoff.…

    Personal Identity Concept

    Human beings, as individuals, place a substantial amount of importance on and extensively value the consideration that we are unique. This is foundational aspect of human nature, interaction, and being. But what does this uniqueness mean, and what does it mean to us? The concept of the self or having a personal identity leads to questions of what one is really addressing when making statements about the self; such as, how is the concept of the self created or formed? Does the self persist through time, and how can we know that this identity is the same as we flow through time?…

    Association with others is overrated in today’s society. Throughout history many human beings have succeeded without the assistance of interaction of others in their life. Understanding yourself has no correlation with the other people in your life. We do not need other people in order to understand ourselves because we can grow from the experiences we have intrapersonally rather than interpersonally. People have succeeded in understanding themselves and bettering themselves independently and without the help of anybody.…

    Most modern, Western citizens would not question the idea that they are a separate and autonomous being, completely independent and different in every way from their neighbor. When asked, some might answer that what makes them different is their personality, their soul, or their mind. The discrepancy lies in the fact that, between individuals, all of these can be similar. Does that imply that two individuals who are similar in personality have less of a ‘self’ than someone who is vastly different? Does believing that one has a concrete self, separate from all others, make it true?…

    To understand oneself, we must fully understand the relationship between individuals and society. We learn to socialize through the process of interacting with each other in certain contexts, play different roles, become parts of the society, and keep the society functioning and moving forward. Societies and individuals are inseparable, and so as personal troubles and public issue. To understand public issue, we must connect it with personal trouble, and likewise, to understand personal trouble, we must consider it within the big pictures of the whole society.…

    Mead The Self Analysis

    For Mead the Self is made up two interrelated dimensions, the me and the I: the me is a result of talking the standpoint of the other and seeing yourself from the standpoint of the other’s attitude and expectations of you, while the I is the self’s response to the others attitude and expectations. As for, Simmel the core of the self and the basic of its individuality are partially made possible by its capacity to have secrets and all human interaction involves what you know about the others as well as what you don’t know or that which remains a secret. Mead analyses his theory of the social self-dimension, which includes the concepts of the “self”, “me” and “I”. He stated the human-self can distinguish between the self and body.…

    George Mead was a sociologist of the mid nineteen centuries, who developed on the theory of social self. He believed the self and society were inevitable and inseparable; as a result, he shared, “there can be no self apart from society;” the fact is, ‘the self’ is richly engrossed in societal proceedings or interactions and that the society cannot be functional without the attributing -factors that imbues meaning into it, which I share here as ‘the self’. The self permits the ongoing process of communicative social actions between persons or other individuals who are mutually oriented toward each other. Thus, it permit us to firmly say that society lays it basis on the interaction of personalities which allows it processes to flow efficiently…
