Emotional experiences, goals, relationships – Multiplework

Ann Marie: Sandwich (Chicago), Illinois, United States; Hi, we’re Ann and all (Aynetal3). We are 58-years and am a Multiple. We have three adult sons and their families and am in a 23-year relationship with our best friend Rich. We have in our home Dakota, our 5-year old collie/golden retriever service dog, and Missy our 19-year old black kitty. Oh, and we keep our psychiatrist Dr. Marvin in business 😉 We had been studying at a Master’s level Educational Psychology and Adult Education – e-learning, technology and design. We enjoy a strong interest in Self-Regulation and Multiplicity or Dissociation (DID, but w/o so much disorder). We do a lot of curating through reading and writing, and we utilize Word, Mindmapping, Evernote, a few favorite books, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Speakerdeck, and Learnist). We believe in the power of the BLOG and “all of our” ability to validate People, especially through sharing conversation, video, and art/images.

Ann’s Note:

Selfs seek (conscious or unconscious) “emotional experiences,” which are steered by fulfilling her unique “goals” and needs by relationship to others (Schore, 2012, p. 73).

Original:

“To appreciate the patient’s motivation, we need to … discern the emotional experience he or she seeks. At times, the goal sought will be self-evident to patient and [therapist]. At other times, the goal will lie out of awareness and will be difficult to ascertain.… The golden thread in assessing motivation lies in discovering the affect being sought in conjunction with the behavior being investigated” (p. 73).
