Me, and my others selves

Me, and my others me is well known as “The prince, the toad and the mask.”

This way of questioning us Carlo Moïso, psychiatrist and psychotherapist of the 20th century: big name in transactional analysis.

I discovered this practice during a Coaching Ways training session. To be a professional coach, I had the opportunity to work on my different selves.

How do you do your Me’s portrait

The principle was to draw 3 images corresponding to our vision of what we are through these 3 characters: the prince or the princess, the toad or the frog, the mask.

These 3 images are a pretext for questioning. His first then why not, a way to get feedback on the drawings as illustrations of our different selves.

The first part of the sheet therefore contains our 3 illustrations, on the second half we will house 3 fundamental qualities and 3 defects.

You will be surprised by the resonance of your image of Prince / Princess with your qualities. The toad / frog will look very much like your faults.

As for the mask, it is the image you want, in a given situation to show. It is neutral and positive. But like any mask, it protects you from many emotionally difficult situations.

I invite you to read the blog of one of my colleagues, who describes the energy aspects of each of the characters by challenging us with this question who do you want to be the Prince, the toad, or the mask?
