Here is our preamble for the workshop:

What makes you break your diet, or run up your credit card, or be attracted to all the wrong people? You know these aren’t healthy things to do, you know you’re sabotaging your own best interest, but sometimes you just can’t help it. In addressing self-sabotage, many experts focus on symptom relief. But teaching people how to save money or lose weight doesn’t address the powerful component of our personalities that acts out in spite of our best intentions: our Outer Child.

You’re already familiar with the concept of an Inner Child … your emotional core, the innocent, vulnerable, often needy part of your personality. No less important [is a psychological construct named the] Outer Child; the part of your personality that acts out your Inner Child’s feelings. Inner Child feels. Outer Child acts out the feelings.

Your Outer Child represents all the counterproductive habits and tendencies that keep you falling short [of your adult goals]. The theory of the Outer Child is a self-awareness tool that lets you look at your own behavior from a powerful new perspective. Think of it this way: Outer is you on autopilot. Whether Outer Child has been preventing you from sticking to a diet, curbing your spending, overcoming performance anxiety, ending procrastination, improving a relationship, becoming a better parent, or reaching your potential, today’s presentation and practices will teach you how to switch from autopilot to manual transmission.
