1. Sentido del self

   Anotações:

   • the sense of self begins with learning to discriminate our experiences from other people’s experiences
   1. Discriminar nuestras experiencias, de las experiencias del otro

      Anotações:

      • With multiple shaping opportunities throughout my childhood, I learn that if I feel hungry and my brother eats, I will still feel hungry. If I am standing in front of the television, people who are behind me won’t see it. If I want my sister’s toy and steal it from her, I will be happy but she will be sad.
      1. La forma en que yo experimento el mundo, es diferente a como otros lo hacen
         1. En la medida en que aprendemos a discriminar nuestras experiencias, comenzamos a derivar que todas esas experiencias son percibidas desde un punto de vista común: Nuestro “self”

            Anotações:

            • All these states have changed and will change but what remains stable is the “place” from which I notice these ever changing experiences. 
            1. Una vez, de estas múltiples experiencias, extraemos el "self", el problema comienza por que se vuelve una especie de entidad: Ej: Yo soy Inteligente

               Anotações:

               • A thing we can relate to like we relate to a book. And if I can say that a book is awesome, then I can also say that I am awesome
               1. También: "soy tonta, soy fea, soy poco atractiva..."
                  1. Relación de equivalencia: Al notar que tengo estas experiencias; se convierte en: yo soy esa experiencia

                     Anotações:

                     • the problem is that we tend to put ourselves in relation of equivalence with our experiences, instead of sticking with the relation of perspective that originally led to this sense of self. 
                     1. Como defino mi self puede influenciar mis conductas, en formas que pueden ser problemáticas.
                        1. 1. Piensa 3 adjetivos que típicamente definan tu personalidad; 2. Piensa cuantas veces no has sido así en la última semana, las últimas 24 horas, la última hora
                        2. 1. Rigidez

                           Anotações:

                           • Como el self se vuelve un "objeto", se defiende igual que defender el cuerpo. “I am too anxious to take a job like that” “I am depressive, I can never be happy”
                           1. Contradecir y estar a la defensiva.
                           2. Dificultad para hacer algo que pueda contradecir ese concepto
                        3. 2.Inestabilidad

                           Anotações:

                           • Al perder de vista la permanencia a través de las experiencias, nos perdemos a nosotros mismos. The feeling of instability comes from being attached to each identity and not being able to find coherence across all these differences.
                           1. Emocional

                              Anotações:

                              • It seems that each emotion they feel in the moment defines them completely, so every emotional change leads to a new self
                           2. Cambios en la vida
                        4. 3. Auto-crítica
                           1. Juicios hacia la experiencia psicológica y a nuestras acciones, terminan aplicandose a nosotros (=)

                              Anotações:

                              • If we identify with our psychological experiences, including our actions, judgments we have about these experiences end up applying to ourselves
                              1. Hice algo malo = soy malo
                        5. 4. Impotencia - Bajo sentido de eficacia

                           Anotações:

                           • clients who suffer from depression or impulsivity often feel like they have no impact on the world or they can't ever control their actions. As if the self was impotent
                     2. Algunas de estas categorías tienden a "pegarse" más que otras

1. Observar las experiencias en el presente

   Anotações:

   • The principle is to help the client notice in the moment that experiences related to the self are different than what they were a moment before
