Working Together

Do you think working with a group of people is more effective, or sometimes less effective? Does it depend on who is in the group? What will happen when the various finance spokespeople get together with the minister for finance? Compromise of even more chaos?

Sometimes just bouncing something off one other person can clarify your own thoughts, if you have to explain your thoughts to someone, you also have to explain them to yourself! Things you missed can be pointed out to you, sometimes even blindingly obvious things.

If people in a group have different agendas, there is going to be chaos. To make progress, a common goal has to be agreed upon, and then see what can be taken out of the different agendas to work towards that common goal. When everybody has the same aim, and conflict is minimized, that is called congruence.

The same goes for our inner minds. There are parts of us that control out heartbeat, breathing, respiration, senses, everything you can think of. When two parts of our mind are in conflict, the result is like a tug of war, and the stronger part wins, but even though the stronger part is winning, it still has to use a lot of wasted energy to achieve its aim. When the two parts are congruent, working towards a common agreed goal, it becomes much easier, and there is much less wasted energy and stress. 

Parts therapy is commonly used in hypnotherapy to mediate between two parts which are warring or in conflict, and to negotiate different and congruent ways to achieve goals that are beneficial to the person as a whole.

For example, it's common for one part of a person to want to stop smoking, and a stronger unconscious part that wants to keep smoking. Once both parts are congruent in their goal to be a healthy, weathier, energetic person free from that smoking habit, it becomes very easy to stop.
