Ego Inadequacy

I am working in several areas. One is by using the Diamond Approach [book/The Pearl Beyond Price]. This seems to be one of the most concrete psychological approaches that I have found. I am at the chapters which discuss Ego Inadequecy and how to resolve it. When we work through the merging vs indepence step in development, we will reach a place where our growth will hit a wall of inadequecy. It must happen to everyone who truly tries to develop and evolve themselves. The negative ways to handle this are to either merge back to some kind of feminine substitute - or perhaps a father substitute for women, or to cover up feelings of inadequacy by having a grandios trummped up ego. I think I have, more often than not, struggled with this phase called rapprochement and merged. I am now reaching a bifurcation where this is wearing thin and so I am trying to deal with this ego inadequacy directly. It takes some courage to do so, but there is a point where it has to be done. I will read on, and work on - and maybe get some help where I can - to go further, which is required for me to reach the authentic stage. I see it happening at work, taking on more responsibilities, learning, being creative - and also with social network such as Facebook.

In other areas, I am using the BodyScan/Mindfulness/Meditation/Yoga appoach as a centering of my self, and also to manage the headache pain. In conjunction with this is the FIT (focused intensity training) of the "Strength for Life" program.
