What is inner conflict?

-


Inner conflict arises when our feelings, opinions, or interests clash on a specific issue. In such cases, we talk about internal conflicts that manifest in various forms.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) offer an approach to the human psyche through the energetic balancing of the body and mind.

Thus, it’s natural for two or more parts of us to disagree on a specific issue. Just like a conflict between people, intrapersonal or "psychic" conflict forms through the emergence of a disagreement.

This disagreement can range from a simple difference of opinion with no major consequences to a deep conflict that prevents a person from making a decision, generating stress, uncomfortable emotions, anxiety, or even depression.

Examples of inner conflicts:

  • The desire to go out with friends while also wanting to stay at home in a calm atmosphere.
  • Confronting a romantic dilemma where one part of you wants to stay in a relationship, while another wants to leave.
  • The desire to change careers for personal growth, while also wanting to maintain the financial security of your current job.
  • A critical part of your personality that evaluates every action you take.
  • The difficulty of coping with the loss of a loved one, while also wanting to regain the joy of living.

Can inner conflict be prevented?

Any interaction or coexistence between people can generate differences of opinion, disagreements, or contradictions. This happens because each of us carries a personal history filled with distinct values, beliefs, and opinions. Therefore, it is unrealistic to think we can completely avoid conflicts in life.

The same dynamic applies to our inner lives because we are made up of multiple personalities. Each part of us has its own story, viewpoints, beliefs, values, goals, and roles, all contributing to our overall well-being.

If we accept conflict as something natural and constructive, rather than viewing it as abnormal and destructive, we will be more willing to listen to, understand, and accept the needs, intentions, and strategies of the different parts of our personality, aiming for inner harmony.

Managing inner conflict in EFT therapy

The therapist helps the client identify the parts involved in the issue and clarifies the expressed viewpoints. The person interacts with these parts to better understand what is being communicated.

The therapist supports this process through tapping techniques and reframing, offering empathetic listening to each part that wishes to express itself.

A clear distinction is made between the benevolent intentions of these parts and the sometimes extreme strategies they use. This listening process may uncover deeper difficulties, which will be addressed if necessary.

The beneficial effects of inner listening through EFT

EFT practice helps develop an attitude of inner listening, creating a safe space that allows:

  • The authentic expression of parts of the self in a secure environment that brings emotional peace.
  • Gaining a clearer perspective on the addressed situation.
  • Restoring intrapersonal connections and promoting inner collaboration.
  • Developing inner resources such as trust, creativity, compassion, curiosity, and calm.
  • The natural resolution of inner conflicts.

Stim ca noi oamenii sintem creati inca de la Facere pe o linie de urmasi deoarece sintem fiinte muritoare obisnuite,si trebuie sa intelegem ca daca sintem muritori atunci avem creata Karma prin care revenim in trup in ciclurile vietii apartinand reincarnarilor facind parte din Lantului Spiralei Evolutiei.Prin analizele si studiile facute de mai marii lumii stiinta Astrologiei opereaza in analizele si interpretarile sale bazindu-se pe combinatii ale unor elemente precise,specifice temei de nastere. In Astrologie vem 34 de variabile ca elemente de baza:10 planete,12 zodii,si 12 case. Din combinatia lor  rezulta toate variantele capacitatilor personale omenesti. In legatura cu Astrologia Karmica ar trebui sa se stie ca este Astrologia cea mai importanta decit toate,fiind denumita si Astrologia tristetii si durerii sufletesti care ne atentioneaza drastic si usturator  daca am comis greseli,care ne arata cum  sa reparam acele greseli pe care le comit...

Imagine
In 1993 , Romania demara o ampla campanie de punere in valoare a cetatilor dacice de la Gradistea . Un studiu multidisciplinar efectuat la fata locului a pus in evidenta faptul ca sub ceea ce este acum decopertat exista un urias ansamblu arhitectonic , un ansamblu militaro – civil compact, cu mai multe nuclee , intins pe o suprafata de peste 200 de kilometri patrati. Acest oras ingropat este predacic si e foarte bogat in aur . Specialistii romani au intocmit niste planuri de detaliu cu siturile subterane nedecopertate, pe care le-au strans intr-un dosar trimis Ministerului Culturii si Cultelor. O copie a planurilor a ajuns insa si la cautatorii clandestini de comori, care au relatii puternice in zona clasei politice. Hotii stiu acum cu exactitate unde sa caute. In mod ciudat, posibilitatea ca vestigiile din Muntii Orastiei sa fie scoase de pe lista UNESCO, merge mana in mana cu deja celebrul scandal al bratarilor dacice . Dupa cum ...
