About building an optimal skin in two minutes
To live safely and comfortably in the world we need a skin around our precious essential self. This skin should allow in things we want, keep out things we don't, let us express what we wish to and protect us from over expression. Our skin is formed in childhood in response to the interactions we experience from our caregivers. In an ideal world we would form an optimal skin, but sometimes we form a thin skin, sometimes a thick skin and worst of all, a chaotic skin. This two minute video explains the implications of the various types of skin. It's never too late to build an optimal skin and that's one of the things you can work on in therapy.
