Take Charge of Your Relationships

Areas and Questions for Reflection

The only way real change can occur in your life is if you are willing to take the time and energy required to make it happen. Spend as much time as you can on each question and write out your genuine responses to the following topics. In order to ensure that you engage the material fully and deeply, write out your responses and be completely honest with yourself. Resist the temptation to view them impersonally.

1. What archetypes play out most prominently in your relationships? Select an archetype, identify the specific person involved and the script you use to play the archetype out. Rescript your pattern and practice the new script in actual life situations.
2. Identify your relationships where you experience strong negative emotions such as, control, jealousy, judgment or criticism. What archetypes play out in those relationships? Rescript and practice.
3. Do people want to have relationships with you? Are there relationships in which you feel rejected? Can you identify why?
4. What about you attracts others? What's the thing that makes others stay away?
5. Are your current relationships - professional, intimate, and friendly - assisting you in your own evolution? How? In what ways do they limit you? Do you know when to end a relationship? Have you ever remained in a relationship that you knew should have been ended? Why? What were you afraid of?
