Assume the responsibility.

"I am not what has happened to me, I am what I decide to be," says a phrase by Carl Jung. And therein lies the importance of all therapeutic work.

Reviewing history, childhood, recognizing presences, absences, difficulties, complexes is an essential part of the therapeutic process. Without that, we can easily make invisible key aspects of our history in order to understand a little more who we are.

"Where do we come from and where are we going". The a classic phrase that we often hear. Knowing where we come from is certainly important to know where to go, but it is still just as important to be able to elaborate and make that information available so that we can choose, instead of being stuck in the past.

It is essential to know what precedes us, as individuals and also collectively. History shows us that what our ancestors experienced has a lot to do with us and that many of the symptoms of modern life are associated with a rejection or little connection with these aspects. But this information must be used to make decisions, choose, elaborate, and then assume responsibility for what is chosen.

Otherwise, all that information that we access can potentially leave us in a very comfortable place, which is to blame others for what happens to us in our lives, often not being able to get out of there.

This place is dangerous because it nullifies one's ability to change and immobilizes. It prevents choice, which always carries responsibility. In this field, the person remains in what "has happened to him", possibly the reason for recurring complaints that do not stop because they do not find the fundamental reason for this situation to change, which is to take charge of it, which does not mean blaming or punishing oneself but to take charge of the conflict, accept and get involved with what is happening to us. If we are not aware of this, the cause of the evils will always be projected abroad, it is the others who have the problem.

Getting rid of responsibility is, without a doubt, a tempting task. We have, thanks to this, cause for complaint, which is usually a hobby that implies satisfaction. Even in a group, this complaint is often enhanced and fed back with that of the other person. It can be transformed into a stimulating motif in a social chat.

It is gratifying to speak negatively about the outside because, by contrast, it leaves us in a "positive" condition in the meantime, it is a way to avoid confronting the shadow parts of ourselves. Judging what we place far away, relieves us of the judgment towards ourselves. However, if we cannot bring those contents back to our internal world, there will be no possible modification.

Therapy implies precisely this, placing the person instead of an agent of change, in their dignity and responsibility with respect to what happens to them. Without this position, the individual can be dragged by inherited, external, unconscious factors, unable to take hold, separate, and make decisions.

Taking responsibility is the only thing that allows us to change. What "happens" to us is raw material to know, elaborate, and transform.
