Father Wounds: Can A Man Have A Disempowering Self-Image If His Father Wasn't A Good Role Model?

Father Wounds: Can A Man Have A Disempowering Self-Image If His Father Wasn't A Good Role Model?

 What a man may find, if he was to take a step back and reflect, is that he doesn't have a very positive view of himself. For a large part of his life, this may have been something that was just under the radar, so to speak.

 Consequently, the view that he has of himself would have just been what he was like and he wouldn't have questioned it. Now, however, part of him will know that how he sees himself is not fixed and that it can change.

 For Example

 When it comes to how he sees himself, he could find that he has some, if not all, of the following views:

 • That he is incapable
 • That he has no value
 • That he is an idiot
 • That he is unworthy of respect
 • That he deserves to be humiliated

 Irrespective of whether he can relate to all of these or only a few of these, as well as others, it is clear that he won't be his own best friend. In fact, he will be his own worst enemy, and this is going to hold him back in life and stop him from reaching his potential.

 Looking For Proof

 Thanks to how he sees himself, he will both consciously and unconsciously be looking for evidence that backs up what he believes. This means that his ego-mind will block out anything that disproves what he believes.

 What this illustrates is that his life will mirror back what he believes and it won't matter if there is any truth to what he believes. By becoming aware of how his outer world is reflecting back his inner world, he will see why his life is the way that it is.

 The Exception

 When it comes to his day-to-day life, he may find that he is often treated badly and treated as though he has no value. He could often be laughed at and seen as a bit of a joke.

 If he ever does feel valuable, appreciated and respected, it will be something that he rarely experiences. There could be one area of his life where he is treated this way but it could be very different when it comes to just about every other area.

 Why Is This?

 At this point, it could seem strange as to why he would view himself in this way; especially if this view doesn't match up with what he is actually like. There can be a number of reasons as to why he is this way.

 One reason for this is that his father may have also been seen in the same way. During his early years, he would have identified with his father and this would have been an important part of what allowed him to form an identity.

 Passed Down

 It wouldn't have been possible for him to choose certain traits and to avoid others; he would have automatically taken everything on. This is not to say that his father completely matched up with how the people around him saw him but that he largely tolerated it and didn't assert himself.

 Perhaps his mother, along with other family members, routinely humiliated and made fun of his father. If this was so, it was probably due to the fact that his mother had unresolved issues with her own mother and father.

 Indirect Revenge

 Unconsciously, then, his mother would have seen his father as the parent/s who harmed her when she was growing up. Another part of this is that she may have also unconsciously chosen a man who she could control and dominate, causing her to go from a victim to a perpetrator.

 Therefore, someone who she could humiliate in the same and/or similar way that she was humiliated very early on. Most likely, his mother was completely oblivious to the effect that her behaviour was having on her son's father or on her son.

 Destined To Suffer

 So, if his father did just accept what was going on and didn't draw the line, he would have indirectly been sending a number of limiting messages to his son. This would have been a time when he had no way of filtering out these messages and to chose which parts he would keep and what parts he would disregard, even if he sensed that something wasn't right deep down.

 Ultimately, his father would have provided him with the first model of what a man is like. What was going on externally would have gradually been internalised, setting him up to have a very similar experience to his father as time went by.

 Individuation

 The truth is that he is not his father, so although he may have taken on a lot that belonged to him and expect to be treated like him, he doesn't have to stay this way. For him to step into his own power and for his life to be an expression of his true self, he will need to mentally and emotionally separate from his father.

 He needed his father very early on to provide him with an identity but now that he is an adult, he can define himself. This will involve questioning what he believes and working through his emotional wounds.

 Awareness

 If a man can relate to this and is ready to change his life, he may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.

 

Hindi Translation 

पिता के घाव: क्या एक आदमी की एक कमजोर आत्म-छवि हो सकती है यदि उसके पिता एक अच्छे रोल मॉडल नहीं थे?

 एक आदमी क्या पा सकता है, अगर वह एक कदम पीछे हट जाए और प्रतिबिंबित करे, तो वह यह है कि वह खुद के बारे में बहुत सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण नहीं रखता है।  उनके जीवन के एक बड़े हिस्से के लिए, यह कुछ ऐसा हो सकता है जो सिर्फ रडार के नीचे था, इसलिए बोलने के लिए।

 नतीजतन, जो विचार वह खुद के बारे में है, वह वही होगा जो वह था और उसने इस पर सवाल नहीं उठाया होगा।  अब, हालांकि, उसके हिस्से को पता चल जाएगा कि वह खुद को कैसे देखता है, यह तय नहीं है और यह बदल सकता है।

 उदाहरण के लिए

 जब यह बात आती है कि वह खुद को कैसे देखता है, तो वह पा सकता है कि उसके पास निम्नलिखित विचारों में से कुछ हैं, यदि सभी नहीं हैं:

 • कि वह अक्षम है
 • कि उसका कोई मूल्य नहीं है
 • कि वह एक मूर्ख है
 • कि वह सम्मान के योग्य नहीं है
 • कि वह अपमानित होने का पात्र है

 चाहे वह इन सभी से संबंधित हो या इनमें से केवल कुछ, साथ ही अन्य, यह स्पष्ट है कि वह अपना सबसे अच्छा दोस्त नहीं होगा।  वास्तव में, वह उसका अपना सबसे बड़ा दुश्मन होगा, और यह उसे जीवन में वापस पकड़ लेगा और उसे अपनी क्षमता तक पहुंचने से रोक देगा।

 सबूत ढूंढ रहे हैं

 वह खुद को कैसे देखता है, इसके लिए धन्यवाद, वह होशपूर्वक और अनजाने में उन सबूतों की तलाश में होगा जो उसके विश्वास का समर्थन करते हैं।  इसका मतलब यह है कि उसका अहंकार-दिमाग ऐसी किसी भी चीज़ को रोक देगा जो उसके विश्वास का खंडन करती है।

 यह जो दिखाता है वह यह है कि उसका जीवन वही होगा जो वह मानता है और इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि उसके विश्वास में कोई सच्चाई है या नहीं।  इस बात से अवगत होकर कि उसकी बाहरी दुनिया उसकी आंतरिक दुनिया को कैसे प्रतिबिंबित कर रही है, वह देखेगा कि उसका जीवन ऐसा क्यों है।

 अपवाद

 जब उसके दिन-प्रतिदिन के जीवन की बात आती है, तो वह पा सकता है कि उसके साथ अक्सर बुरा व्यवहार किया जाता है और उसके साथ ऐसा व्यवहार किया जाता है जैसे कि उसका कोई मूल्य नहीं है।  उन्हें अक्सर हँसाया जा सकता था और एक मजाक के रूप में देखा जा सकता था।

 अगर वह कभी मूल्यवान, सराहना और सम्मान महसूस करता है, तो यह कुछ ऐसा होगा जिसे वह शायद ही कभी अनुभव करता है।  उनके जीवन का एक क्षेत्र ऐसा हो सकता है जहां उनके साथ इस तरह का व्यवहार किया जाता है, लेकिन जब यह लगभग हर दूसरे क्षेत्र की बात आती है तो यह बहुत अलग हो सकता है।

 यह क्यों है?

 इस बिंदु पर, यह अजीब लग सकता है कि वह खुद को इस तरह क्यों देखेगा;  खासकर अगर यह दृश्य उसके जैसा है उससे मेल नहीं खाता।  वह ऐसा क्यों है इसके कई कारण हो सकते हैं।

 इसका एक कारण यह भी हो सकता है कि उनके पिता को भी कुछ इसी तरह देखा गया होगा।  अपने शुरुआती वर्षों के दौरान, उन्होंने अपने पिता के साथ पहचान बनाई होगी और यह एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा होगा जिसने उन्हें एक पहचान बनाने की अनुमति दी।

 आगे बढ़ाया

 उसके लिए कुछ लक्षणों को चुनना और दूसरों से बचना संभव नहीं होता;  वह स्वतः ही सब कुछ अपने ऊपर ले लेता।  यह कहना नहीं है कि उनके पिता पूरी तरह से उनके आस-पास के लोगों के साथ मेल खाते थे, लेकिन उन्होंने इसे काफी हद तक सहन किया और खुद पर जोर नहीं दिया।

 शायद उसकी माँ, परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों के साथ, नियमित रूप से अपमानित करती थी और उसके पिता का मज़ाक उड़ाती थी।  यदि ऐसा था, तो शायद यह इस तथ्य के कारण था कि उसकी माँ की अपनी माँ और पिता के साथ अनसुलझे मुद्दे थे।

 अप्रत्यक्ष बदला

 अनजाने में, तब, उसकी माँ ने उसके पिता को माता-पिता के रूप में देखा होगा जिन्होंने उसे बड़ा होने पर नुकसान पहुँचाया था।  इसका एक और हिस्सा यह है कि उसने अनजाने में एक ऐसे व्यक्ति को भी चुना होगा जिसे वह नियंत्रित कर सकती है और हावी हो सकती है, जिससे वह पीड़ित से अपराधी बन सकती है।

 इसलिए, कोई है जिसे वह उसी और/या इसी तरह से अपमानित कर सकती थी कि उसे बहुत पहले ही अपमानित किया गया था।  सबसे अधिक संभावना है, उसकी माँ इस बात से पूरी तरह बेखबर थी कि उसका व्यवहार उसके बेटे के पिता या उसके बेटे पर पड़ रहा था।

 पीड़ित होने के लिए नियत

 इसलिए, अगर उसके पिता ने जो हो रहा था उसे स्वीकार कर लिया और रेखा नहीं खींची, तो वह परोक्ष रूप से अपने बेटे को कई सीमित संदेश भेज रहा होता।  यह एक ऐसा समय रहा होगा जब उसके पास इन संदेशों को छानने का कोई तरीका नहीं था और यह चुनने के लिए कि वह किन भागों को रखेगा और किन भागों की अवहेलना करेगा, भले ही उन्हें लगा कि कुछ सही नहीं है।

 आखिरकार, उसके पिता ने उसे एक आदमी की तरह का पहला मॉडल प्रदान किया होगा।  बाहरी रूप से जो चल रहा था, वह धीरे-धीरे आंतरिक हो गया होगा, जिससे वह समय बीतने के साथ अपने पिता के समान अनुभव प्राप्त कर सके।

 व्यक्तित्व

 सच्चाई यह है कि वह उसका पिता नहीं है, इसलिए भले ही उसने अपने लिए बहुत कुछ लिया हो और उसके जैसा व्यवहार करने की अपेक्षा की हो, उसे इस तरह रहने की जरूरत नहीं है।  उसे अपनी शक्ति में कदम रखने के लिए और अपने जीवन के लिए अपने सच्चे आत्म की अभिव्यक्ति होने के लिए, उसे मानसिक और भावनात्मक रूप से अपने पिता से अलग होने की आवश्यकता होगी।

 उन्हें एक पहचान प्रदान करने के लिए अपने पिता की बहुत जल्दी जरूरत थी लेकिन अब जब वह एक वयस्क हैं, तो वे खुद को परिभाषित कर सकते हैं।  इसमें सवाल करना शामिल होगा कि वह क्या मानता है और अपने भावनात्मक घावों के माध्यम से काम कर रहा है।

 जागरूकता

 यदि कोई व्यक्ति इससे संबंधित हो सकता है और अपना जीवन बदलने के लिए तैयार है, तो उसे बाहरी सहायता के लिए पहुंचने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।  यह ऐसा कुछ है जिसे चिकित्सक या चिकित्सक की सहायता से प्रदान किया जा सकता है।

Growth & Development

Growth & Development 

Since conception, the process of growth and development continues it goes on sometimes slowly and sometimes rapidly. The single cell grows into a full sized foetus before it is delivered. The process of growth becomes all the more rapid when the child has been born. What are the principles of growth and development, their patterns.
First, we shall see what these two terms Growth and Development connote. The increasing of an organ or limb of the body, in size and weight, is its growth. Division of each cell, and, their growing into thousands in number, or their changing into tissues, blood or bone, is part of the process of development.

The process of growth and development goes on simultaneously for development, growth is also required up to a certain age.

Growth is essential to enable the organism to bear the strain which the process of development causes. After a certain age, the process of growth ceases, but development may continue beyond it. An organism is said to have attained maturity in a certain field where the zenith of growth has been reached.
It is in the nature of the organism to grow and develop, Growth and development are the important characteristics of a living organism. As the baby grows in age, it is expected to perform more and more functions the functions continue to become more and more difficult and complicated.

To be able to do all this, development physical, mental and emotional, is essential  the growth of the body, of its different organs or parts, is also essential for the development.

Brekenridge et al. have defined “Development” in the following words: “Development can be defined as the emerging and expanding of capacities of the individual to provide progressively greater facility in functioning.

The child increases in motor skills from his uncertain first steps to a high proficiency in skilled games at adolescence from physiological instability to stability from his first babbling in infancy to manipulation of language in abstract thinking from confusion of self to inanimate objects to a clear realisation of himself as a person from the immature child to the man and woman who is able to reproduce.”

The history of physical growth of human organism begins when it is in the form of a very minute dot which we call Protoplasm, only 13 millimetre in size. When the embryo is a month old, its length becomes 6 millimetre. In the second month, it starts having human shape it grows six times in length and five hundred times in weight.

By about 20th week, the mother starts feeling the movement of the foetus now it weighs nearly one pound.

The gaining in of the embryo/foetus in weight, and, its increase in length, is its “growth” and its ability to make movements, is its “development”, motor development which synchronizes with the physical growth of the foetus. During the first three years of the infant’s life, the growth happens to be very rapid; and so does his development in physical or mental fields.

In the first year, the weight becomes three times than what it was at the time of birth.

When the child of 6 or 7 months, shows the development of eye-hand co-ordination in grasping things, the mother feels happy to see; by one year, he can feed himself with spoon and cup; by 18 months, he can exercise control over anal and ureteral sphincters in due course, the child starts not only running and hopping but doing somersaults and other complicated physical movements which are the sure indicators of rapid physical or motor development,development of balance and co-ordination.

Along with this development, mental development also takes place.

After birth, the child can only gradually develop the function of sensing things or events, as his skeletal-muscular-neurological growth and development take place, so also develops the area of his gaining experiences through his sense organs because with age, increases his mobility and capability to handle things with increasing skill and in varied ways.

Development of language is the most important stage in the process of development. The child’s perception increases, and his mental abilities and expression also increase accordingly.

Maturity is the stage in the process of growth or development, when one is fit or ready to perform some particular function, or to learn some particular thing. Psychologists, through their observations and experiments, have concluded that an attempt made to make the young child learn a thing, for which a stage of maturity or readiness has not been reached by him, will only result in frustration on the part of the trainer.
A baby cannot have control over his anal and ureteral sphincters before he is 18 months old; cannot put one block over the other before he is 2 years old, cannot tell colour effects before the age of 3 to 4 and according to Piaget, “conceptual schemas become organised into interrelated systems” only during the period between two to seven years, which Piaget has called Operational period and the problem solving stage begins by about the age of eleven years only.

These are the stages when the related skeletal- muscular neurological systems achieve the required maturity for different physical and cognitive activities referred to above. If efforts are made to make the child do the activities for which “readiness” (maturity) is not there, the efforts are sure to fail, frustrating the one who expects such a performance, and the child too suffers harassment, with deleterious effects to follow.

Individual differences are there, because of which the elders often complain about their youngsters not showing enough maturity in accordance with their age.

It is to be understood that individuals do not keep the same pace of physical growth and development. The recurring remarks of others regarding their inability, incompetence to do what others of their age can do, develop a self-concept which makes them suffer from inferiority complex and frustration.

Due to rapid changes in all phases of experience, the age-old moral standards no longer hold good now. As a result of the changed situation, even parents, in many cases, cannot be sure of Tightness of an issue; and such an uncertainty makes the moral precepts lose their positiveness.

The desirable condition to develop is that the child must have a sense of honour for himself Self-esteem is essential for a good moral life; no external fear should be goading his behaviour. Superstitious fear in the child and the ‘super-conscientious over analysis’ of his behaviour, are not in the interest of proper emotional growth of the child. He may grow nervous or emotionally unstable because of them.

Religious training is good, if it can help make Love the governing principle of life; make life serene and bring about “peace within.”
