Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. This is about personal housecleaning and taking vigorous action with this process.  To really look at the self in a  “warts and all” way is a powerful way of engaging with self intimacy even if painful.   One can see in life the roles that have been acted on and the distorted perceptions that have impacted the self and others.  All of these relate to ones self esteem and self worth which in turn affect behaviours and situations. In the therapy that we do we look at distorted beliefs and how these have manifested themselves in the life path of ones actions.  With this there is also an invitation to look at what has been ignored, dis-missed or discounted in an attempt to keep the story fitting with ones own idea of what went on.  It is amazing what people will do, say and even feel in an attempt to keep a mindset in place.  I call this a frame of reference, a way of experiencing and seeing the world , others and self which fits the decisions one has made about life.
