a. Understand your ego barrier.
理解你的自我意识障碍。
When I refer to your “ego barrier,” I’m referring to your subliminal defense mechanisms that make it hard for you to accept your mistakes and weaknesses. Your deepest-seated needs and fears— such as the need to be loved and the fear of losing love, the need to survive and the fear of not surviving, the need to be important and the fear of not mattering—reside in primitive parts of your brain such as the amygdala, which are structures in your temporal lobe that process emotions. Because these areas of your brain are not accessible to your conscious awareness, it is virtually impossible for you to understand what they want and how they control you. They oversimplify things and react instinctively. They crave praise and respond to criticism as an attack, even when the higher-level parts of the brain understand that constructive criticism is good for you. They make you defensive, especially when it comes to the subject of how good you are.
我说的“自我意识 障碍”是指你潜意识里的防卫机制,它使你难以 接受自己的错误和弱点。你有一些根植于内心最深处的需求和恐惧,例如需要被爱,害怕失去别 人的爱;需要生存,害怕死亡;需要让自己有意 义,害怕自己无意义。这些需求都源自你大脑里 的一些原始部分,如杏仁核。这些原始部分都是 大脑颞叶里的构造,而颞叶处理情绪。因为你大 脑的这些区域是你感知不到的,所以你几乎不可 能理解它们需要什么,它们如何控制你。这些区 域会简单化地处理事物,做出本能的反应。这些 区域渴望赞誉,把批评视为一种攻击,尽管大脑 更高级的部分能够理解,建设性的批评对你有 利。这些区域使你产生戒备心理,尤其是在涉及 对你的完美性进行评价的时候。
