Ask Freudina Dr. Alison Feit

What are enactments? In Season 1, we will explore this psychological concept that dictates your behavior in sneaky, subliminal ways. If you find yourself engaging in repetitive behaviors that seem to be deeply ingrained in your personality, or if you have a tendency to react to situations in a way that causes you more trouble than it should, this season is made for you.

Letting your relationships be dictated by the “cop and robber’ enactment can lead to frustration, as it is just a part of yourself that is conflicted internally and is acting it out with another human being. Listen to this week’s episode and discover a few new ways to recognize and manage this enactment. 

Is the way we treat each other in line with our roles in one another’s lives? 
Is it right to be uncomfortable about my situation despite the fact that nothing “terrible” is happening?
Why does acting friendly feel wrong with this particular person?
If you find yourself asking similar questions, then this episode is sure to shed some light on your situation. Check it out below!

We all tend to seek validation in moments of low self-esteem, often by “confessing our sins” to another person. Listen to the podcast and get ready to swap poor self-esteem and punishment for a new, healthy relationship dynamic. Amen to that!

None of us enjoy being told what to do, especially when the direction conflicts with our internal rules, but it is an unavoidable part of life. Instead of struggling with feelings of anger, frustration, resentment, and dissatisfaction, I encourage you to join me in learning how to identify this in yourself and others.

Instead of simply treading water in your conversations and discussions, you too can find more understanding and progress by identifying the scripts you are falling into. Unconscious scripts can masquerade as character flaws, and by identifying them we can set the stage for more effective interactions with others.
