Results
So, how many times have you answered “yes”?
5 or less. At the moment are at peace with yourself and achieving everything you want. Or alternatively you have a tendency to say to yourself “Well, it’s not so clear-cut,” or “Not quite like that,” and find it difficult to admit that something is really affecting you.
6-12. Well, you had a mother, so that means you have problems! But overall, you’re managing to cope with them, and maybe even think that what you said “yes” to is not a problem, but rather the norm – many people live that way. However, in everyone’s life there are periods that require significant transformations, old strategies don’t work forever, and life itself tests the strength of our habitual way of living. If you’re going through such a period, it’s time to seek professional help – it can significantly help you on your path to what you desire.
13-21. You need help. Your habitual attitudes and ways of acting bring you discomfort and create problems. If you continue like this, the quality of your life will deteriorate, and it will become increasingly difficult to climb out of this “hole.” Reach out to a professional psychotherapist or join a group to work with your Shadow.
22 or more. This is unlikely – it seems that several very different personalities live within you.
What can you do to change your situation?
When engaged in self-development, it is important not only to rely on previous knowledge but also to transform and reevaluate your past experiences. Seeking assistance from a specialist, whether through individual or group work, is highly recommended.
However, you can also make significant progress on your own by participating in a self-guided retreat in our “Inner Child — Girl” and “Inner Child — Boy” rooms. These spaces offer specific practices to help you connect with your Inner Child’s energy and take steps towards incorporating it into your daily life.
