>>10693546It's the sequence of experiencing stimuli, reflexively having an emotional response, consciously considering that response, and then cataloging that experience into your worldview. When you're at a developmental age the way you cope with events, communication, frustration, etc. is pivotal in determining how you're going to behave as an adult, and is a big factor in addictive, obsessive, or maladaptive traits. If you or I built a big fuckoff duplo tower - biggest ever built, yuge - and it falls over, no big deal, but for a baby that has barely even processed that they're a conscious creature, that same event might be armageddon. If all the adults in the room freaked out and traumatized the kid from trying again, they'd never fully form a worldview that the tower can be rebuilt infinite times. This basic example applies all over the place. Lots of kids esp. boys get fucked up because they aren't allowed to or aren't taught how to move past their initial reflexive responses or end up with maladaptive results. They end up not developing the skill to consciously scrutinize their responses later or form a healthy worldview based on positive experiences.
I use Lego as a physical metaphor for abstract concepts like sharing, permanence/impermanence, imagination space versus physical space, etc. It's not something they notice on a clinical level, considering half these chaps aren't even thinking about what I'm actually doing there.
Anyways,
