This is how I see the step 4 of making a searching and fearless moral inventory  of ourselves.  Its take a look at yourself by putting your fear down and accepting “warts and all”  feedback on self by opening up your self perception.  It is an intimate process of allowing yourself to look into the mirror and see what comes back.  We often want to avoid this process because of fear of what we will see.  “the I don’t want to have a look at myself because I don’t want to see any flaws”.  Its almost like flaws are not acceptable and yet we all have them.  Here we can construct such a false self to protect the real self because really what we have in the form of gritty bits are not okay.  Human beings are really vulnerable when taking stock on the personal inventory of self.  However, this risk in intimacy is fundamental in getting well, developing self acceptance and putting a priority on self care and love.  I believe that avoidance is far more risky and what may be found with our own intimate relationship with self is someone vulnerable and scared or sad and angry.  Therefore  had reasons for this construction and developed a script process accordingly with a frame of reference that was more logical at the time for surviving life.  So the journey of understanding ones script comes from looking intimately at the self.  The process of a fearless moral inventory of self is so useful and powerful in connecting with our own internal relationship with “us”.
