Propelled by the feeling of Discouraged, Languishing

We recoil when we retreat from current strife to the impulses of an earlier time in order to escape.

"I am weak, therefore I must become small again to escape the overwhelming demands of the present.". Recoiling serves by instantly drawing all psychic energy back to a point in time when an all-powerful protector might have rescued the self from its pain. (One can recoil from the stress of a deadline by seeking the immediate comfort of binge-watching or easy gaming, in order to gain a temporary sense of confidence). The cost of chronic recoiling is the emotional maturity it sacrifices: the self forfeits the opportunity to develop new resources needed to navigate the current stressor.

As adults we will Recoil as a means to see ourselves as Confident, Sanguine

There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, we generally see four “acceptable” combinations of defense mechanisms operating. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood. Here we see Recoiling as it combines with its four common partners.
When Recoiling is combined with Disavowal =
I behave as a Toiler - Recoiling from my feelings while seeking to be Steadfast
When Recoiling is combined with Containing =
I behave as a Recluse- Recoiling from feelings while seeking to be Galvanized
When Recoiling is combined with Absorption =
I behave as a Hermit - Recoiling from my feelings while seeking to be Sovereign
When Recoiling is combined with Denial =
I behave as a Prey - Recoiling from my feelings while seeking to be Comforting

Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality, usually occurring in the form of a persistent Doppelganger, a nemesis to our accepted sense of selfhood.
As our attachment to the rotating Defense Structures within us dissolves, attention turns to disembodied dark waves that we find alive in our environment. There are 18 available to the witnessing eye. As we gain a more direct relationship to these Dark Wave entities, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.
