Words of Wisdom for February 23, 2026

• Structure of Basic Proposition determines personal reactivity and defensiveness
• Personal reactivity and defensiveness occurs with threats to self-identity, our perception of satisfactory survival, and a threat occurred to our basic needs for security, love-worthiness (dignity), and loving acceptance/connection.
• Understanding our Basic Proposition is core to greater self-acceptance that fosters greater presence, response-flexibility, and resilience
