Our Life Position and our healing go hand in hand. If we’re constantly operating from an Unhealthy Life Position, then we’re not walking in true authenticity.

Nor are we in the Ventral Part of the Nervous System.

As I’ve said so many times in this blog, I believe God heals us back to the person He saw when He laid the foundation of the world. This is our true authentic self.

If we continue to see ourselves and those around us through the lens of our childhood programming (if this is faulty), then our mental and physical health will be impacted.

This continues from the previous post entitled HOW EGO STATE THERAPY HELPS HEALING.

Today, I’ll give an overview of what a Life Position is, how and why it develops and the consequences concerning ourselves and our relationships with others.

Today we look at how Ego state therapy helps us in healing

Ego state therapy is part of the transactional analysis theory, which explains why we sometimes think and feel as we do when interacting with others. 

Ego state therapy believes that we’re made up of different ‘parts’ or ‘egos’. Everything we think, feel, say and do stems from one of these egos.

We move around the ego states throughout the day, depending on who we’re interacting with at the time. Even if we’re only interacting with ourselves.

I personally believe that unprocessed trauma changes the way we relate to ourselves and others meaning that we can sometimes find ourselves, by default, operating out of an ego state in an unhealthy and unserving way.

If we don’t change this and healthily relate to ourselves and others, we may be priming our brains for sickness. 

So today I’ll give a brief overview of Ego state therapy, how to identify which ego we might be in and why and offer some ideas how we can move in and out of the various ego-states in an appropriate and healthy way.

Welcome to part 2 of my study in looking at how our self-limiting beliefs or common core beliefs can hinder healing. I am specifically looking at the common core beliefs that, according to the TA Theory, refer to the messages children pick up from caregivers.

These are sometimes called the 12 injunctions.

Today we’ll be looking at 12 Self-limiting Beliefs, (which I’ve taken from TA Theory’s Injunctions) that you may be unconsciously believing. 

As a child, whoever raised you, may have unwittingly communicated harmful messages or commands (injunctions) to you which you then internalised into self-limiting beliefs. 

These beliefs become so ingrained in the child, that they form part of the child’s unconscious identity, or Life Script, even into adulthood.

They greatly influence, in a negative way, the adult’s interaction with the world around them, their future and self-concept.

In essence, they disconnect us from life. 

Self-limiting beliefs stop us from living in the freedom that Christ died to give us. They also impact us on a physiological level, keeping us stuck on the healing journey

During times of illness, it’s important to reap the benefits of humility. According to Deut 8:2 one of the key purposes of the Wilderness season is to develop this quality.

And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

Deut 8:2

God had a purpose for the Israelites in the Wilderness. He wanted them to learn humility. Today, I am exploring the concept of humility, in relation to the journey through illness.

Additionally, I will be discussing three key benefits of humility for those who are unwell, as well as outlining five methods for cultivating humility throughout the healing process.

Taking every thought captive seems impossible given the thousands of thoughts plaguing us each day.

For those that have traits of ADD, or those so dysregulated that living with scattered thoughts are the norm, how can we possibly take all our thoughts captive?

In today’s post, I explain why taking every thought captive is essential to healing, and will talk you through 5 simple steps I personally take when overcoming hindering thoughts.

There are numerous posts out there on taking thoughts captive, so I hope you hear something today that is fresh and a little different.
