John Pierakos said that the resistance to change is based most often on the fear of pain or fear of annihiliation. He said “when these defences take over, there is a negative intentionality in the human being. ” When the fear of pain or annihilation overwhelms a person’s total being, it maintains a state of negativity. John Pierakos said that the fear of pain takes one of three dominant forms. “One is pride, resistance to oneness with others. The proud will says ‘I’ll never admit I can be hurt’. Another form is self-will – ‘I resist any other way but my way, I must not be hurt, so I’ll attach you first before you attack me’. The third form is direct fear of life. The person who is afraid says, ‘if I am hurt, I must perish’. The paradox is that the person that maintains these defences fosters misery. ” (Core Energetics, p. 153).
In Core Energetics we support the client to go beneath their defence systems and discharge old pain and belief systems that no longer serve them. This creates a body and energy system that is more alive and vital and combined with putting attention on the positive intention, becomes a rich fertile ground for positive intentions to manifest.
May your longings manifest in 2013!
