A vital member of your Regular personality subselves specializes in analyzing - making sense and meaning of ("understanding" and "figuring out") sensory informa-tion about the inner and outer environments. Other subselves may form differing opinions, but usually lack the Analyzer's skills at logic, evaluating, and synthesizing different concepts, memories, and facts - "reasoning." When the true Self guides the other subselves, s/he and the Organizer/Plan-ner use the Analyzer's conclusions to help make wise decisions. If undistracted, the Analyzer may seek input from other Regulars in forming her or his opinions. If the Self (capital "S") is disabled by other distrustful, reactive subselves (a false self), they often ignore the Analyzer's conclusions and make distorted mean-ings out of perceived events. Typical Guardian subselves contributing to these wrong judgments are the Magician ("Problem? What problem?"), Catastrophizer ("We're gonna die!"), the Cynic / Doubter, the Idealist, Inner Critic, People Pleaser, and others. If needy, reactive Inner Children control the personality, their realities and con-clusions are even more apt to be over-emotional and mistaken. Some wounded people - specially males - have an overactive Analyzer who tries to protect fragile Inner Kids from painful feelings and awarenesses ("Alex is always in his head.") The protective Numb-er / anesthetist may join in. Project 1 aims to help balance and harmonize all subselves under the gui-dance of the resident true Self. When that happens, the Analyzer's skills and con-clusions are a priceless asset in making wise short-and long-term decisions. more detail / slides / Project-1 index & guidebook / Q&A / skeptical? / close |
