From an early age, some individuals receive particular invitations to reject and transform themselves, to which they respond either by accepting or rebelling. In the case of acceptance—often due to fear of abandonment by parents—it is common for such demands to be internalized and chronicled as internal dispositions to fulfill. The typical attitude of those who behave in an excessively hyper-mature, overly conscientious, docile, diligent, or servile manner often reflects the effort to abdicate themselves, that is, to "transform" in order to conform to the real or perceived expectations of significant others. Although these processes are often initiated with the intent to feel well and find satisfying answers to one’s needs, they are marked by significant forms of denial and self-rejection, representing different ways of "burying oneself alive." The reflections presented in this volume are primarily addressed to teachers and those who work in various capacities as educators, dealing with complex educational situations connected to the actions of learners who, to varying depths, persistence, and pervasiveness, choose to renounce and transform themselves. The proposed suggestions aim to enhance the ability to recognize and manage the learner's internal emotional blocks to help them break free from illusions and embark on liberating paths toward the rebirth of the self.

Abstract

From an early age, some individuals receive particular invitations to reject and transform themselves, to which they respond either by accepting or rebelling. In the case of acceptance—often due to fear of abandonment by parents—it is common for such demands to be internalized and chronicled as internal dispositions to fulfill. The typical attitude of those who behave in an excessively hyper-mature, overly conscientious, docile, diligent, or servile manner often reflects the effort to abdicate themselves, that is, to "transform" in order to conform to the real or perceived expectations of significant others. Although these processes are often initiated with the intent to feel well and find satisfying answers to one’s needs, they are marked by significant forms of denial and self-rejection, representing different ways of "burying oneself alive." The reflections presented in this volume are primarily addressed to teachers and those who work in various capacities as educators, dealing with complex educational situations connected to the actions of learners who, to varying depths, persistence, and pervasiveness, choose to renounce and transform themselves. The proposed suggestions aim to enhance the ability to recognize and manage the learner's internal emotional blocks to help them break free from illusions and embark on liberating paths toward the rebirth of the self.
