archetypal states, yes that's it, I love it. I settled on the word 'archetype' for lack of a better way to describe what I was feeling, tbh. I wanted to show how we all at some point embody these energetic shifts if you will, to show it in a more non-judgmental way as opposed to a fixed personality type. Thank you for describing it so well!
😊
I think you are also describing a really great Point here in the benefits of not identifying with any of these states personally. And that is that when we don't identify them and we don't Place judgement on them, we are much more able to be adaptable and flow in and out and make better choices for where our minds are at in the Here and Now to better manage our emotional states, to be aware of them and then make informed choices as to where to go from there. I mentioned in the post that the victim and the survivalist archetypal States have a tendency to lean toward a lack of self-awareness, however I agree and I think that you have shown with your personal example very well that that doesn't always have to be the case. :-)
Dang bro, you always get me thinking :-) I'm glad you're in a better place now and I appreciate you sharing a little piece of yourself with me and everybody else. I always learn so much from other people and now everyone else here has a chance to do that as well.
😊🙏 peace!
