Do you know someone who loves to entertain other people, tell stories, and make them laugh and cry? Do you do that? If this is compulsive or overdone, it may indicate the person is often controlled by a well-meaning Guardian personality subself who may be called the Entertainer, Joker, or Clown. This subself often works with the Socializer, People-pleaser and perhaps the Egotist / Narcissist subselves to get others' interest, approval, and accep-tance. These Guardian subselves activate automatically to protect and com-fort Shamed, Lost, and/or Abandoned (Lonely) inner children. Some people have a young Joker / Clown instead of - or in addition to - a mature Guard-ian subself. When overactive, this subself may aim to distract the host person (i.e. other key subselves) from self-awareness and experiencing inner pain. Project 1 offers ideas and resources to help identify, understand, inte-grate, and harmonize personality parts like this one under the expert leadership of the resident true Self and other talented Regular subselves. detail / slides / Lesson-1 guidebook & links / skeptical? / Q&A / close |
