Pick a man before you read!! Which number of the 21 little people in the tree do you resonate with? Look at the picture before reading below....[translated] T...his simple psycho-emotional test inspired by Pip Willson's method can reveal interesting points about you. Pip Willson is a psychologist and trainer known worldwide for the very simple method in which he manages to help people find their maximum potential and balance in life. Pip Wilson also invented the Blob Tree method. If you chose the little man 2 or 3, then you are an ambitious and confident person. You know that you will succeed all the time and that convenient situations will always come up to help you in your progress. Little man number 1 is a self-assured person, content with his life and optimistic. He is an intelligent person, the capabia should see in perspective. Little man number 21 is a person who tries, but does not know how to find the best solutions for his life. He is a little man who must learn to ask for help from those around him and to give up his suspicious nature. If you chose the little man 9, 19 or 4, it defines you as a non-social, suspicious and confident person. The number 19 man can have narcissistic inclinations and is envious of the success of others. The number 4 little man gives up too quickly, does not trust his extraordinary potential. And the number 9 little man will do anything to prove that he is wonderful too, but it is easier to keep his lonely side, because in this way he justifies his mistrust in others. Little people 7, 11, 12 characterize communicative people who know how to offer support to their friends. These people are characterized by a high emotional intelligence that helps them successfully deal with life situations. They have team spirit, they see the bright side and they find solutions all the time. The number 5 little man is creative, loves life, enjoys every moment, love and knows how to be grateful to all the good things around him. This helps him to maintain a positive outlook and so he always has open doors to all the best! The number 6 little man needs to feel loved, protected and safe. He is the kind of person who always falls in love with the wrong person, because of his unwed need for affection and love. This little man must learn to look more carefully for those who can help him in his evolution, and not those who do not understand his vulnerability. The number 13 little man is filled with despair and the loss of hope. He must do his best to recalibrate himself to the tree of life and he can easily regain confidence in himself again, seeking the support of his loved ones! The little people 16, 17 and 18 are optimistic, full of life, with team spirit, perform in any field and look at the challenges with detachment. The number 18 little man likes to feel loved and appreciated, and when he feels it, he becomes your best friend! The number 14 little man is a soul, a philanthropist, he would do anything to help others. He is characterized by a lot of empathy and a great soul ". This little man should learn to take care of himself, not just others! The 10, 15 and 20 men are winners. I love the taste of success, even if everyone has different ways to achieve it. The number 20 man is ambitious, confident and full of life, is an innovator and is not afraid to take risks. His detachment and passion bring him many achievements and satisfaction. Little man number 10 is ambitious, but also very cautious. He is hardworking and determined, that's why he is successful, pretty much anything he wants. His ideas always stand out and he is appreciated in any environment. And the number 15 little man is motivated by the beauty of the road to success rather than the success itself. He is curious to know new things, to have new experiences, to meet people and to learn something from each one. The number 8 little man is a dreamer and romantic. He likes to have some moments just to himself. This is how he regains his energy and the mood for life and socialization. It is good for the loved ones to understand their need for isolation and not to misconstrue it, to understand it and to leave the space it needs.

My childhood environment was stable, meaning my parents were home + all of my physical needs were met. Dinner was at the same time every night. There was routin...e. But, it was also unpredictable. My dad, overwhelmed with pressure would erupt in yelling fits. My mom would completely shut down into silent treatments that could last for weeks. Because they couldn’t regulate their emotions, I developed severe anxiety as a child. One of my own childhood memories is around age 7 being unable to sleep thinking someone would break in. Or cyclical thoughts that I’d wake up + someone would have died. A manifestation of the stress held in my body. A body in the process of learning these states as a baseline ‘normal.’ This steady stream of hormones (adrenaline, cortisol) had all of us in an emotional cycle of highs + lows. Of chaos + then lifeless exhaustion or irritability. Unconsciously seeking it. I usually did this as an adult through romantic relationships where I’d push or knit pick. When nothing was happening I was bored. I’d become accustomed to my bodies stress responseit was how I learned connection. It’s when I felt like ‘me.’ Emotional states create hormonal responses that when experienced long term, imprint our body memory. If we learned these states as children, we become adults caught up in a cycle with our bodies needing these hormonal responses. Seeking them. Many adrenaline junkies are seeking that familiar. So are many of us who engage in on off relationship dynamics. Or spend hours or days consuming content that leaves us feeling helpless, angry, + resentful. Just as we did as children. The body seeks the familiar. The mind seeks the familiar. Healing is expanding our consciousness to understand when we do unconsciously seek stress, why we do it, + how often. With this awareness we can begin to choose moments of peace + teach the body safety in the present moment. There’s no shame in being caught in a cycle that your body learned. The addictive nature is very real + so is the withdrawal (Know it can be unlearned #selfhealers

The key to understanding your adult self, is to go back to your child self. Birth to age 6 is the most impactful time in our lives. Our brain waves are in a the...ta state, similar to hypnosis. We are soaking everything in. Language, how to exist in the world, how to bond with our parent figures. Everything that’s spoken to us we internalize without question including messages about who we are. And who other people are. During this period, we are also in an ego-centric period of development. This means we believe everything happens to us, because of us. Everything is personal when we are children. We lack the ego maturity to understand that there are many reasons for people’s behavior. And many of these reasons have nothing to do with us. We might still lack this awareness in adulthood. Many of us heard direct messages like you’re too sensitive, you need to go to school + become a doctor, or you need to marry young + have a large family. We also also got indirect messages maybe a parent detached from us when we didn’t accomplish. Or denied a something that happened to us because that reality was too painful for them to acknowledge. The message is: your reality does not matter. The result is conditioning. Our conditioning is behaviors + core beliefs we adapted to survive. Survival is dependent on being loved by caregivers. So we will betrayal, deny, or repress parts of ourselves. This inner child trauma is part of our adult life until we feel + process it. This is why so many of us have deep, deep shame. We believe that if a parent couldn’t see, love, + validate us something is wrong with us. The truth is that parent(s) had their own unresolved traumas, their own wounding that they projected onto us. Here are some questions to journal or meditate on. Inner child work is painful but leads to so much healing. You can also check out my inner child meditation (on my YouTube channel + SoundCloud). Have tissues ready. I love you #selfhealers
