Common Guardian Subselves

    Premise - to survive low-nurturance environments, typical young kids develop a fragmented personality ruled by a "false self." One group of subselves is naive inner kids. Another group is their ever-watchful "Guardians" like these:

  • Procrastinator

  • Perfectionist

  • Fantasizer / Dreamer

  • Addict (Distracter)

  • People-Pleaser

  • Deceiver / Liar / Con

  • Whore / Stud / Flirt

  • Clown / Joker / Entertainer

  • Pusher / Driver / Achiever

  • Warrior / Amazon

  • Abuser  //  Rager

  • Impatient / Hyper One

  • Inner Critic (Shamer)

  • Magician (Distorter)

  • Controller / Manipulator

  • Blocker / Numb-er

  • Worrier //  Catastrophizer

  • Rebel  //  Aggressor

  • Loner / Hermit / Recluse

  • Saboteur / Screw Up

  • Survivor

  • Loser / Victim / Martyr 

  • Idealist / Optimist

  • Fanatic / Zealot

Once aware of their unique set of subselves, wounded adults can har-monize them under the guidance of their true Self and Higher Power.
