Insight, Internalize, and Integrate
To fully understand how Dynamic Interaction skills can be successfully used, you must develop insight, internalize these insights, and integrate this learning into your normal behavior.
Insight
Our insight, at any given moment, often offers a course of action that is wise, ethical, efficient, or virtuous.
There is a popular belief that insight governs behavior. People often come to psychologists and other professionals seeking insight. Insight is what we would seem to get from a few minutes with a TV Psychologist. We may
consider their insight to be wise, wonderful, and helpful. Entertainment, and not lasting change, is probably the greatest reward of these experiences.
Most of the time, our behavior is a product of factors that do not include ‘choice’. Behaviors that are impulsive, reflexive, habitual, addictive, instinctual, or conditioned may have little to do with free will or insight!
There are two major ways in which insight helps to govern our behavior. The first, is developing our ability to use our free will.
The second, is to use insight is to develop behavioral habits and condition ourselves to act in accordance with our insights automatically. This involves training and practice.
Genius is often more perspiration than inspiration! While insight can be an important element of an interaction, by itself it will not produce the desired changes.
