Personality
begins forming from the earliest days of life, when our uniquely inherited
natures come into contact with our environment. As we grow, we pass
through several normal developmental stages that require us to negotiate
tasks that involve the building of such important personal foundations
as trust, autonomy, and initiative, to name a few. During these formative
years, while we are negotiating life's tasks, events may occur that
cause us to develop maladaptive responses to people and situations;
such patterns may continue to interfere with our overall development.
While we grow as a whole, we may still carry
fragments of ourselves that didn't have the opportunity to develop fully.
We may appear to others as mature adults who function quite successfully,
while
inside we experience feelings of inadequacy, over sensitivity, moodiness,
stress intolerance, excessive fear and anger, anxiety, confusion and/or
depression. We may not feel able to manage rejection and loss, handle
life challenges or allow others to know our real feelings; sometimes
we may not be aware of how we feel and what we want for ourselves. Our
energy may suffer, and we may become more prone to headaches, stomachaches,
back pain, fatigue, illness and other symptoms.
