One of the most practically helpful moves Lysa makes is giving us language for the specific ways we come unglued — spend time this week sitting with her four reactor types and being honest about which one fits you.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Lysa identifies four types of reactors: those who explode and blame others, those who explode and shame themselves, those who stuff and build barriers, and those who stuff and collect retaliation rocks. Which of these descriptions made you catch your breath in recognition?
2.Describe in your own words what it looks like to "collect retaliation rocks." Have you ever done this — storing up grievances until you could hurl them all at once? What tends to be the trigger that finally makes you throw them?
3.The "build barriers" stuffing type often looks composed on the outside while quietly withdrawing on the inside. Why might this pattern be especially hard to identify as a problem — in yourself or in others?
a.How can quiet withdrawal damage a relationship just as much as an angry outburst?
b.Is there a relationship in your life right now where you have built a barrier? What would it take to begin dismantling it?
