Human behavior is awash in "Triggering"--reactive, instinctual "outlashings, " often amplified by traumatic antecedents. The neurological speed of Triggering is 70 ms. Becoming aware of Triggering takes over 6 1/2x longer: 460 ms. Therein lies a dilemma. How can consciousness address the destructiveness of Triggering's unleashings when consciousness's own process is too slow to "get out ahead of it?"Enter: The Self-Pact. The Self-Pact is a new, revolutionary approach to meeting the challenge of having a salutary effect on Triggering, despite Triggering's speed. Birthed in the unyielding reality of Triggering's neurology, the Self-Pact is a process through which the energy of Triggering is harnessed, and becomes a co-equal partner in (1st) ceasing the destructive outworkings that accompany Triggering, and (2nd) assuming a pedagogical role in revealing, to those who are Triggering-prone, the original "causes and conditions" that have, below the level of awareness, been bedeviling them for years--often decades. Profound healing possibilities become visible in this amazing odyssey, made possible by the portal called The Self-Pact.This book provides a thorough introduction to this new mode of healing, along with an account of the personal history that led to The Self-Pact's creation.
