The Power of Perspective by Marilyn Sargent & Al Sargent

The Power of Perspective:
Aligning Perceptual Positions

There are 3 basic filters (or perceptual positions) we operate from when experiencing any given event or situation.

Often, we become stuck in one particular position, cutting off the insight and resources available in the others, leaving us feeling ineffective, frustrated and unheard.

The Power of Perspective will show you how to move at will between these positions, using them consciously to obtain a richer, more accurate desc ription of any situation, thereby giving you more options to choose from!

Stop “driving from the trunk” and learn how to:

Prevent others from taking advantage of you…

Observe interactions objectively and maintain a personal safety zone so you can get your point across…

Empathize with others without losing your “self”…

Differentiate between someone else’s unique way of thinking and your own…

Gain multiple perspectives on any situation…

Improve the comprehension of your communication for more satisfying relationships of all kinds…

More information about Self Help:

Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvementóeconomically, intellectually, or emotionallyóoften with a substantial psychological basis.
Many different self-help group programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases, leaders.
Concepts and terms originating in self-help culture and Twelve-Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency have become firmly integrated in mainstream language.

Self-help often utilizes publicly available information or support groups, on the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join together.
From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply particularly to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
