Procrastination


Few days ago I read a polish post about procrastination. (http://blog.sukceskobiety.pl/).
I found it very interesting. So I present here some notes:
- Procrastination very often isn't an effect of laziness
- With regards to D. Waitley statements -by postponing some activities we protect our self-esteem and indipendency. We delay realization of some tasks not to suffer
- Procrastination can be some form of defence from suffering, but a short-term defence
- Do you procrastinate .....
  • for fear of failure
  • for fear of imperfection
  • for fear of unrealistic expectations
  • foe fear of success
  • to present your aversion to power and authority
  • and others...
And what do you do with this. Knowing reasons doesn't help us eliminate it.
When you delay to do something, you say "I will do it tomorrow" or "I will do it someday"?
, first emotion which appear is fear or anger?

How your procrastination looks like?

I'm no expert


Yesterday I participated in a seminar with
prof. Carlos Sluzki http://sluzki.com/ (a Modena organizated by ISCRA) who was a director of MRI in the sixties.
We were talking about the conversation during the therapy as a type of new format story.
One of the arguments which touched me was the fact that the psychologist shouldn't be seen as a expert who solves problems. I'm no expert. The experts are the clients, patients who know everything about themselves and their particular situation.
The role of psychologist is to create a good enough conversation, strategic dialogue during which he will be able to know, understand, feel...
What?....
one of the story with some actors, drama, scenary, etc. But as we know, every family member construct his own story. There is no true story. There are personal stories built on the base of life experience, mental maps, etc. Using better formate story (as a proposed Sluzki) we are able to understand and help our client.
G'day Mate!
