By placing blame outside the person helps in creating coping strategies to deal with the evils around them, while keeping their self-esteem intact. However by the end of the Hero’s journey the hero will learn that the source of control dwells within the decisions we make. By placing trust in the groups or therapist, creates movement away from the Orphan attitude towards adaptive skills and making decisions for themselves. Eventually they will see that they did it all them self (Pearson, 1989, p. 40).

But

You can behave your way into good feelings.

In other words fake it fake it till you make it. Our behaviour dose control our feelings and the way people interact with us.

This is a common saying that I think everyone knows but really do not know the full import of the saying.

Children enter the world with complete ignorance of the social complexities of world the parents live in. The child is an alien to the world we live in, and need to know the pitfalls before they fall into them. as the child grows the learning becomes challenging for the parents, as the parenting style will govern the socialization and moral code the child will live with. The child will not know what is maladaptive (bad) for them and what is beneficial (good) for them, all this is taught by the parents.

The Hand the rocks the Cradle controles:

• The types of shows they watch on TV
• The quality of friends the child has
• The values that the child has
• The principals that the child will take to the grave with them
• The morals that they act by
• The ethics that they base their decisions on
• The child will distinguish as Normal behaviour
• The type of education that the child gets
• The habits of the child

Thus everything you do as a parent will be reflected in the child. for you are the bench mark that the child judges the world around them.

Same old Grind

This is the first step in the Hero’s Journey and where we all start from. Just as I have heard somewhere, when the unusual becomes the usual it is accepted to be normal and part of the ordinary world we all live in. So, you have gone through the Hero’s Journey just to create another ordinary world. Much like the journey I have take, I was once an Auctioneer and needed to change vocation, I took the hero’s journey to go through University, now to be a Therapist, now therapy is my ordinary world. We all live in a maze of our own making, just like rats in a maze finding the cheese, we too have our own maze to fine our own cheese. If you like, get the town map out and mark out the routes you take every day. You are at home, then to work, to the shop, perhaps to the club, pub, bowling ally, then back home. The streets we travel are the habituated roads in the maze we stick to. Going to a new supermarket is out of the question unless they are cheaper or have something that others don’t, that’s why they fight with advertising for your dollar. In psychology when tackling clients that seeking change, the clients have what is known as a resistance to change, because it takes them out of their comfort zone. This is the same for every one, when dealing with a big change. This happens so often with people facing retirement, or a person that needs to change their life style because of medical reasons, depression is soon to follow.
