Becoming our authentic selves

This lesson explores the complex dynamics of ego and professional behaviour, particularly in the context of birth keeping. It draws on Dr. Shefali's insights into egoic archetypes, which are deep-rooted personality traits developed from societal conditioning and parenting. These archetypes significantly influence how professionals navigate conflicts and interact in their roles.

We'll examine the implications of societal conditioning on women, particularly the ingrained expectation to be 'nice', and how it affects their professional conduct, often leading to impulsive reactions in conflicts.

The lesson highlights three main egoic archetypes identified by Dr. Shefali - The Givers, The Controllers, and The Takers - and discusses their manifestations in birth work. For example, The Givers include archetypes like The Victim, The Martyr, The Saviour, and The Bleeding Empath, each with specific traits that impact how birth keepers might react and interact in their work environment.

Similarly, The Controllers, such as The Perfectionist, The Helicopter, The Tyrant, and The Shield, display traits that can either aid or impede their professional effectiveness in the birth-keeping field.

Understanding and acknowledging these archetypes is crucial for personal growth and balanced interactions. This lesson aims to provide birth workers with insights into their behaviour patterns, helping them to navigate professional challenges with greater self-awareness and empathy.
