Episode 12 : Show Notes

* Victoria speaks about a moment of reactivity that happened last episode, and how it threads back to her childhood stuttering.

* The emotionality of the four, shame, "something is wrong with me", and a low self-image.

* A practice of not emotionalizing experiences, grounding in the body and breath.

* Claudio Naranjo's "Character and Neurosis: an Integrated View" and the trait structure of the four.

* The four's poor self-image, along with "feeling inadequate", "ugly", "repulsive", "poisonous" and more.

* Bryce's enjoyment of hearing about the ugly of all the types - not just the four!

* Under Bryce's feeling of invisibility: deficiency and ugliness.

* Bryce's self-pres four practice via Beatrice Chestnut: lightening up. Also, from Joel & Antonia of "Personality Hacker": loosening up the "image management".

* The fruits of the practice: thinking less about self-image, woohoo!

* A moment of Victoria lookin' like an angel with fledgling wings.

* WHY does Bryce keep going on and on about his poor self-image?! He wants non-fours to get the difference between *moments* of low self-esteem vs. an entire psychological structure built upon deficiency.

* Bryce takes a little expressionist risk, and feels some repercussions. Victoria champions his moment of practice.

* Victoria questions Bryce's potential idealizing and pretty-picture-making. Bryce gives a deeper cut into his practice.

* The alchemizing that happens inside of practice.

* The strooooong influence of the instincts in the type four.

* Victoria's sexual four practice of not sending anger outward, and instead relaxing back and down with the energy, and not indulging the poor sense of self.

* Shining through to something more authentic, real, loving, clean.

* Victoria's delivery of truth, and the ground of presence and equanimity that it's more and more often coming from, is really beautiful to Bryce.

* Our social four is on hold...
