The two drives - inner child and parent
If you want, on this page you will deepen and begin to understand what are the psychological characteristics with which we are all structured and of which we are unaware. I hope this explanation notional, helpful to you, as it has been for me, because I through about it including a lot of my personal history, why and how they move many emotions, This was the beginning of my change that has given me tools and discernment, then the power and the will to dedicate myself to Intuitive Painting.
When t'avvicini to something new and different from your world, There are, within us two opposing and complementary forces that surge. On the one hand the curiosity, irrational fascination to try to get out of our normal, to try to change that makes us open to the unknown, the unknown and is a force that makes us progress. On the other, an equally powerful force that holds us, limits us, There crashes and freezes with fear, an energy that locks us and without which our humanity would die out. These two psychic forces have been called in many ways, but I like to tell you about it in a way that I have been very useful for understanding and clarity with two simple examples that have made me the inner dynamics with which each of us lives and relates. They are the impulses of the Inner Child and Parent Inside. As mentioned above are an opening force and the other closing- protection. They were drawn from transactional analysis study of the Psychologist, Dr. Eric Berne.
These two drives are ever present in us, but we do not know to what extent, and of one of the other. There are people who live almost mainly in parental mode, They are those with a quality of highly developed rational mind, for a need to have everything under control and very often judge and criticize others and themselves with finger pointing. And Then, There are people living with a drive over from "Child" and the sentimental creative, artists, people living in their "bubble", but also the vittimisti and narcissists etc.. You can be of a drive, but at the same time also the other, or a bit 'of both of them together, and this creates the great variety of people, but we do not know when we almost never in either, there is no sensitive detector inside us or bright interior traffic light c'avverte, it's just a practice that comes with the mental exercise of awareness
.Unfortunately in our Western society and culture as you all, you grew up developing the look of the "parent", leaving behind our the "child quality" that are emotional and creative, to increase especially those logical-rational, because this allows you to fall upon themselves a mask and armor on our fragility and vulnerability to a competitive society and even a little 'aggressive like ours and that finds its cultural roots in reason. We, But we always need to get in touch with our "inner child" to be always harmonious with ourselves, because it is only from him that we draw the most authentic energies, our petrol, to express our most unique and special quality, different from all other persons, is the child who makes us get in touch with our soul.
The Intuitive Painting easily turn you get in touch with these two impulses, but they must first explain how they act in us nozionisticamente, to know them better.
The "inner child" is all our impulses and emotional stories, our feelings, Instead the "inner parent" is the control drive, the rules, judgment, and criticism. The inner child reflects the beautiful vulnerable child that we were small, pure heart, open. Then growing, little at a time, this emotional energy is in contact with the fear of losing the love, to be abandoned, not cared. Answers to these experiences with fear and the energy of his heart that begins to close, changes and model based on negative experiences. Crescendo, becoming women and men, that hidden energy continues to live in us and colors, in-form based on the tones and the degree of suffering in childhood we received our existence d 'adult.
The inner parent is a compulsion that grows little by little in our childhood on our parents' model, and he lives with us throughout life, instead it crucial to protect the vulnerable child to prevent him from getting hurt and suffer. It can be represented as the "Jiminy Cricket" Pinocchio always generous to give advice. It represents our rationality, the rule, control, all that is known and consolidated. It is structured so that the child never expose the dangers, always keeping it in safety: from crossing the road to preventing the approach of unknown experiences to received models and well-established, but that never renewed in the dynamic flow of life. The parental instinct is a reflection of the rational mind that is made to know, compare, store and everything that does not know does not exist and does not like, better to stay in the area of his "comfort" to not go crazy or die. This inner parent you want to protect, and it does so with a contribution to make you just survive, but it is self sabotaging, because there comes a time when your inner child pushes you to new experiences. Not at all satisfied with the level of survival in which he lives, it pushes you, so to get out of your area of "comfort".
The existence if it is not included in its dynamics, very often it becomes a theater where tyrannize an inner parent, who does his work controller and an inner child with his gifts, talents, curiosity and always needs stimulation, but also in need of love, the need to be there and vent his anger wounded child.
With Intuitive Painting it is possible to get in touch with these two impulses, that of the child and parent, meet them, for to know them, to hug.
