In life people, places and things will kick our stuff “script”. This brings up often unwanted feelings. There are roads of choice here to look at.  If we close of and become defended we don’t learn or evolve.  If the discomfort is enough this puts individuals into relapse and active addiction.  If we follow a principled way of living “The Steps” , we can open our hearts to the compassion we have inside. “Step 7”. Our scripts hold the power to make us involuntarily shut down “defences” “contaminated beliefs”.  This is why self awareness is so important.  It helps with resilience that even if discomfort is escalated we can eventually have access to our genuine heart and authenticity.  WE  ALL have this potential with practise.  We revive script by feeding it like addiction itself.  Only we do this be feeding it with internal conversation or behaviours that have consequences.  All can be toxic and escalate feelings that seem out of control.  This is when we are in script  and  not in the here and now reality.
