One injunction covering another injunction
Don’t exist was not the only injunction Jack got from his mother. She also gave him Don’t be close. Jack might use this lighter injunction to defend the heavier one. As an infant, he might make the compound decision: “It is Ok for me to go on living, so long as I don’t get close to anyone.”
One injunction covering another injunction
When in his script as an adult,
Jack will unawarely play out
this early decision. He will
appear to others as physically
distant and unwilling to share
his feelings. He will likely find
it difficult to give or take
strokes, especially physical
ones.
One injunction covering another injunction
Jack may not be comfortable with this pattern. He may feel stroke deprived or lonely, and set out to get closer to someone in a relationship. But it is probable that he will prevent himself from doing this for more than a short time. Then he is likely to find a way of drawing away from the other person, perhaps setting up to reject or be rejected.
One injunction covering another injunction
Consciously, Jack feels sad and upset about being alone again. But in his unaware little professor, he is breathing a sign of relief. Had he kept on being close, thus breaking mother’s don’t be close injunction, he would have had to face her homicidal command “Don’t exist”.
One injunction covering another injunction
Here again, if Jack wants to
abandon this scripty set up
and enjoy closeness, he
needs to begin by taking
the sting out of the Don’t
exist injunction. He can do
this by deciding to live, not
matter what.
