Polarity and shadow in Psychotherapy. Part Two

In UNITY, the ALL ONE or no time or space. No change or transformation. The unit is at rest all permanent, is the pure Being, without form or activity. From the point of view of our consciousness bipolar unit is equivalent to nothing. We can refer to that unit, but we can not imagine it is the antithesis of polarity. It is vital to recognize that the world is not polar, but the knowledge that our consciousness gives him.

We have seen that when someone says "I", the word means a number of features, "Woman, mother, worker, white, environmentalist, who loves to cook, etc..." Each of these characteristics was preceded by a decision and opted for a chance to discard its opposite. That is, a pole was identified with its opposite ruling. If I dismiss workers being lazy. Therefore any assessment identification arises (being a worker is good) according to our belief system.

Now, with each match, based on a decision, ruling out a pole. But what is ruled out anything that does not want to be, or see, or admit to our identity, builds up our negative or Shadow. This is because the rejection of half of our potential does not make them disappear, but that only banished from our consciousness. The pole has lived since that time ruled in our shadow.

Very important in view of psychotherapy, is to note that all displaced (dissociated) in the shade, struggling to get back to me (join me). So when he spoke of "language and meaning of the symptom in the comprehensive planned brief psychotherapy" (sheet 4), explained that the symptom is always "serves" to remind "the dissociated" in me and the need I have of realizing and take it. Thus it out of the shadows and solve a polarity.

In each family, initially there are always two possibilities of identification that are dad or mom. Imagine you have a patient who consulted us because of its difficulty in relating lovingly with men. Tells us that his father is a dynamic, attractive and professional success, while his mother is a housewife with a very limited universe all day dedicated to "making croquettes." Clearly this patient, "two proposals" identification, has chosen to be more rewarding male and female has rejected as "degrading." Has lacked female model who unwittingly identified and has become "a man" who can not relate as a woman. Her femininity is rejected in its shadow and symptoms (anxiety about the affair), it "remembers" its dissociation and the need to integrate their femininity rejected.

When you reject a given principle (femininity in our example), whenever it is in the outside world, will suffer an anxiety reaction and rejection (not support the presence of very feminine women because they remind lack thereof). Therefore, the patient will be well with men, but fatal to women, especially if they are very feminine. This occurs through a mechanism of projection.

The shadow always feel it as something external to us, because if we saw we would not be in shadow. So what occupies most human beings is what matters most and thus rejects approaches initially refused to live up to.

All that we need to be healthy is already present in our shadow, but as we can not we see it, projected onto projection surfaces. Our enemies are external projection surfaces that reflect what we do not support ourselves and, for that reason, we reject the others. Also for most people the symptoms of disease are enemies and his own body becomes a projection surface of the less pleasant aspects.

The avoidance of an aspect of reality is that the person has a problem with it. A human being can only disturb the principles of the exterior has not assumed.

The shadow caused by the disease and cure her face. This is the key to understanding the disease and healing. A symptom is always a part of the shadow that has been introduced in the field. For the symptom that appears to be missing man and he experiences what has not wanted to experience consciously.

The disease makes us honest.
