Вам случалось обманывать себя? Бывало ощущение какой-то нелепой игры, в которую вас втягивают окружающие? Такое бывает почти с каждым. Как разорвать этот заколдованный круг? В чем заключаются модели поведения и мировосприятие людей, живущих полной жизнью? В мире нет случайностей. В любом проявлении себя (жесте, почерке, манере одеваться) человек проявляется целостной личностью. В чем выгода этой кажущейся случайности? В освобождении от ответственности. В мире нет справедливости. Справедливость – еще один выгодный способ перекладывать ответственность с себя на других людей, Бога, начальника, мужа, свекровь. Если со мной поступили несправедливо, значит, я не ответствен за это. Значит, можно спокойно идти дальше, не задумываясь. Там, где вы совершенны, нет поводов учиться. И только ошибки дают возможность взлететь. Любое «знаю» – ограничитель. Там, где есть «знаю», нет места чему-то новому. В праве на ошибку – огромная выгода. Свобода, ответственность, плата и риск – вот основные системы координат взрослого человека. Из своего огромного опыта работы я вывел эту модель и буду рад поделиться ею с вами. Александр Ройтман – клинический психолог и психотерапевт. Автор, преподаватель и ведущий метода ведения группового тренинга «Марафон Ройтмана» с 1983 года. Создатель практического семинара «Алгоритм Ройтмана».
