As I will move to the previous installment devoted to the neuroses, and continuity as than exposed there, today I will write about the first part "neurotic mechanisms" or "mechanisms defense " , according to Gestalt understood, in general, and as I understand them in particular.
The first thing I ask (and maybe you too) is: defense mechanisms? Defense of what? Who? Yes, it's a good question.
defense mechanisms (resistance could also call them) will defend of consciousness. From realizing it. The possibility to learn what I do or not do things because I happen to pass me. We defend the responsibility, understood as a responsibility "to answer about my actions." We defend them to continue putting the blame, the responsibility of others. We defend (often with great skill) to keep the position of a victim of what happens to me, what I do. In short, we defend ourselves to large growing.
Because, who would consciously in a position of victim to life? Who consciously would not be responsible for their actions? Who consciously aware of what they do not others? Nobody. To remaining in one of these positions, to be an unconscious need "defendre't" of consciousness.
Remember "instead of Christmas" by Charles Dickens ? Remember what happens when the main character's voice from outside your life? The account will help show you how your future if you continue doing the same. In life, unfortunately, tend to have this possibility.
From the gestalt perspective, we see different neurotic mechanisms. In particular, I will write about Top 5 for me. They are: the introjecció, projection, convergence, and the retroflexió deflection. started:
The first (and this spent a lot all inside) is the introjecció . The introjecció is the mechanism by which a person incorporates external information as their own, undigested or assimilate, and without having had the opportunity to compose their own opinion about it. For example, statements like that "life is hard" or "everything in life is achieved with great effort" or "nobody gives you anything," we have little sense of our environment to become introjectes. sentences are recorded, inserted into our "hard" so to speak. We believe the whole, and these statements Background act in life. therefore not believe that anyone can be generous with us, or do not trust when someone is. Therefore, we believe in life, what we want may not be easy to come together with great effort. And if not, beware. Background, without being aware that this movement will accompany us in life. Is this familiar?
The second is the projection . This mechanism is also important for me . I fucked , yes. Because such costs assume that than accuse others, that both criticize, clear that both see the other , histrionics with both declared to be against and rejection, all we see and we put out, is a part of our . But! (Say) I'm not like that person, I do not do this on other! Well, I can not generalize to say that often, so what moves us when we see it in the other, has something to say to ourselves has to do with somewhere that our neither see nor want to see. So for instance, if you see or feel or you think someone is suspicious, look within yourself. A question that might reveal something would be, I'm suspicious of something now?
I come up here today. In the next installment will explain the 3 remaining mechanisms. Until then, dear readers, free will!
