Are You A Playful Resister? |
|
|
|
|
| They can be quite
playful and have a great eye for others flaws as well
as their own. |
|
|
|
| They will usually
become mired in frequently unnecessary conflict, struggling
with parental figures, bosses, rules, and expectations
from others. When left to their own devices, they
can struggle with themselves, or appliances, or gravity! |

Playful Resister Personality Aspects |
|
|
- PLAYFUL/RESISTERS learn early in life,
usually by the time they are three years old, that everyone seems
to want to control their every trait and behavior.
That experience is enraging to the playful/resister. They
decide that no one is ever going to make them be something other
than who they are. A good idea in theory, but then they
will expend every ounce of energy struggling with others rather
than focusing their attention on making and following plans that
will get them what they really want in life. Hence they
have a sense of being "on down the road" with no life
plan.
- PLAYFUL / RESISTERS tend to mistake
feelings for reality, and are determined to not follow the protocol
that is advised or expected of them. They can be delightful,
but sense they have to do things their own way, they're often
"singing off a different page" than everyone else.
- PLAYFUL / RESISTERS need to learn that life is not all
black and white, right and wrong, but there are really many options
available to them. They also need to learn that they really
are okay as they are and that not everyone is going to try to
straighten them out! They can smooth out if they feel safe
and get in touch with their exhausted feelings (from so much struggling).
- PLAYFUL / RESISTERS need for others to play with them
rather than attempt to straighten them out. Anything that looks
even remotely like control is suspect, so simply enjoy them!
- PLAYFUL / RESISTERS are at their best when they
stop struggling, get out of their either/or framework of thinking
and realize that they don't have to struggle to survive.
Teaching them that they are free to say "no" rather
than stand their ground with passive resistance is helpful.
Finally they need help resolving their fear about expressing themselves
honestly.
