Typical Regular Subselves ("Managers")

    Many people propose that human personalities are composed of semi-inde-pendent subselves or "parts." They seem to be of three or four types: Inner children, their devoted Guardians, and "Regulars." The latter cause your thoughts, feelings, body reactions, and behavior when all other subselves feel safe and satisfied enough. Premise: every normal adult and child evolves a unique mix of Regular subselves like these:

        (True) Self / Leader / Coach / CEO

         Achiever / Driver / Pusher

         Healer / Health Director

         Spiritual One  /  (Soul?)

         Wise One / Sage / Crone

         Nurturer/s  - Loving Mom or Dad

         Adult ("Common sense")

        Socializer

         Artist / Creative One

Survivor ("instincts")

Responsible One

Observer / Reporter

Analyzer / Thinker

Historian ("memory")

Planner / Organizer

Far-seer / Visioner

Peaceful Warrior

The true Self (capital "S") is innately talented to organize, motivate, and lead all other subselves in calm and perilous times if the subselves allow that. Recovery from low-nurturance childhoods commonly requires intentionally persuading other distrustful subselves to follow your Self and other Regulars, and your Higher Power.  //   more detail  /  slides  /  exercise  /  guidebook  /  Q&A  /  close
