The Defense System (Security System)
This is “The Defense System.” Your Boundaries, your personal Laws, Voice, your Communication system are all here. Anger, Frustration, Annoyance are all from here. This is actually a component of Identity. Where Identity goes, the Security System goes.
The three Stages of Anger:
- Aggression and Violence (1 – 3rd Perspective)
- Communication, Debate, and Arguing (4th – 6th Perspective)
- Problem Solving (5th+ Perspective)
In abusive situations, the Security System is deactivated, which is where we see a lack of Boundary Setting and Communication occur. Abuse teaches many of us that “it isn’t safe to talk,” which cripples our Voice and tears down our Defense leaving us Vulnerable (Open) to more abuse and trauma.
The Defense System is your Choice, Self-Authority, Power, and Control. It is supposed to be consciously Managed by your Conscious Awareness.
When the Defense System goes down, the Fear System wakes up.
