| VULNERABLE |
|
OPERATE
FROM THE PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY COOPERATIVE
FUNCTIONAL POWER POSITION OF
I AM OK - YOU ARE OK
-- WITH LIMITS |
|
|
Those who are Vulnerable have limits to protect themselves from
ridicule, unnecessary harm, gratuitous insults, and people who
will not take them seriously. “I will tell you about myself if you
agree to listen, not laugh at me, no put-downs, and be supportive
about my pain. And by the way, don’t tell me how to fix it or how
that happed to you and it was so hard.”
The LIMIT here is about protections when sharing sensitive
material about oneself. Protection comes from an active
Parent-Adult system with rules and procedures for the
interaction. The rules are not mean-spirited, but quite clear. |
