All the limitations are in the head - many say. This is partly true, but it is only a consequence of certain events that happened in your life. Let's take an experiment with fleas. They were placed under a jar and left for a certain amount of time, and then the restriction in the form of a jar was removed, but the fleas no longer jumped above this jar. The same is true with humans. In everyone’s life there are a bunch of such “cans” that can limit in various areas: relationships, health, money, sex, work. We learn most of our limitations in childhood. But the paradox is that once an adult, a person, like a flea without a can, can no longer jump higher. He decided so and he sincerely believes in it. This is how consciousness is formed. A person encounters experience and makes decisions, creates principles, rules of life. Assimilates norms, beliefs, stereotypes of the social environment. And the problem here is not that the child, like a sponge, absorbs what he sees and hears around him. The problem is that as an adult, he unconsciously continues to reproduce his past experiences in the future. Thus, until a person has reached a certain level of consciousness, his future is determined by his past. Like the flea experiment. Even one incident in childhood is enough to make some kind of decision for the rest of your life, which will be a red thread throughout your entire existence. For example, a girl was punished for getting a bad mark. Then again and a couple more. Here it is, the bank. The girl doesn't want to be hurt anymore. And she decides to be an excellent student. Convinces herself that to survive she must be good to everyone. Time passes, school, college. And this girl, already an adult woman, suffers from the fact that she unconsciously tries to be good for everyone, and not herself. But now psychotherapy has reached such a level that these limitations can be worked out quite easily and in a relatively short time. In particular, personal history psychotherapy helps this, which allows you to plunge into the past and transform it by mastering new resources. In order to go beyond the usual and not be a flea imprisoned by your own experience, but live life to the fullest, at least in some area. With love and respect, Nikita Ilyin
