Creating Consciousness of SELF in an Unconscious World

The goal is to walk in the world with a critical mass of self, so that you can live life fully and be how you want to be in all situations. Self is awareness that holds everything.

Like the sun, SELF is sometimes obscured but is always there.

We can work to unravel complexities and how to distinguish self and how to move toward Self-leadership. How to take an inner journey to the sources of dissatisfaction and suffering. How to heal.

We can look at the ways that parts of our psyche—parts of us—feel like they have lost choice.

Some of those parts will show up in different ways:

Striver/achiever/pusher

Critic/judge/evaluator

Controller/manager

Perfectionist

People pleaser/approval seeker

Caretaker

Rebel

Whatever the part, it is part of us. It is what psychologist Dr. Richard Schwartz calls the Internal Family System. The family of the parts of us that make up our inner community.

Self Leadership is drawn from learnings from Guthrie Sayen and excerpts from Dr. Richard Schwartz, Internal Family Systems Model—characteristics of accessing a Critical Mass of Self.
