How the support of one’s image weakens The desired image, outlined by strict criteria and endowed with subjective meaning, can be maintained throughout one’s life. Maintaining an image requires a lot of effort, hence anger from inconsistency arises and tension in the body increases. Many people remain in the “Should” state, reinforcing their image with attitudes/choices/behavior, instead of getting in touch with how they really want to hear their needs and desires. There is a lot of hyper-control here, which prevents you from treating yourself and your reality soberly. A body free from moral instructions is free from tension. Tension is associated with fear of rejection. And then, in order to maintain an illusory belief, a person will look for any ways to isolate his real self from prying eyes, although he himself knows deep inside what he is like and what he desires. Self-actualization is reflected in a free body. A free body is: energy, a resourceful state + the ability to restore it, the ability to hear body signals and follow developed bodily pressures, grounding and involvement with one’s center, contact with one’s aggression, the ability to express one’s needs and desires, the absence of somatic diseases, healthy personal boundaries, self-realization in society and successful achievement goals + financial independence healthy relationships with people In therapy, a person learns self-exploration, acquires the skill to hear his true meanings and manage them through his attention and awareness. A necessary condition for manifestation is unconditional acceptance, sincere interest and a non-judgmental look in the face of the therapist. In such relationships, the basic system of self-regulation changes. If a child was criticized in childhood, then he will treat himself and others the same way. The voices of critics sound in a person’s head and thus he programs himself. In therapy, the client gains a new experience of healthy communication and transfers it into his life, since the therapeutic relationship is a kind of rehearsal for life.
