Johari Window
- Open, or public, information is known both to us and to
others. Your name, height, major, and tastes in music probably are open information that you share easily with others. - The blind area contains information that others know about
us but we don’t know about ourselves. For example, others
may see that we are insecure even though we think we’ve
hidden that well. Others may also recognize needs or feelings that we haven’t acknowledged to ourselves. - Hidden information is what we know about ourselves but
choose not to reveal to most others. You might not tell many
people about your vulnerabilities or about traumas in your past
because you consider this private information. - The unknown area is made up of information about ourselves that neither we nor others know. This consists of your
untapped resources, your untried talents, and your reactions
to experiences you’ve never had. You don’t know how you will manage a
crisis until you’ve been in one, and you can’t tell what kind of parent you
would be unless you’ve had a child.
selfdisclosure
which is intentionally revealing information about ourselves to another
person that she or he is unlikely to discover in other ways
self-sabotage
This
involves telling ourselves we are no good, we can’t do something, there’s no point in
trying to change, and so forth
