(93)无碍（9）

Mindfulness Based Psychic Conflict Neutralization就是我所说的“无碍”。

无碍就是将我们所面对到的psychic conflict（心理冲突）化解，而不是用defenses mechanisms 来面对。Defense mechanisms只是我们用错误的方式来化解psychic conflict。真正能用mindfulness来化解psychic conflict才是我想要表达的“无碍”。

Mindfulness-Based Psychic Conflict Neutralization refers to the use of mindfulness practices to recognize, hold, and ultimately reduce the distress cause by internal psychic conflict---without relying on unconscious defenses mechanisms. Instead of avoiding or automatically neutralizing the conflict, mindfulness allows for non-judgmental observation and acceptance of conflicting internal experience.

Key Principle:

1.Decentering: Observing thoughts and feelings as mental events rather than facts. This reduces identification with either side of the conflict. Example: “I notice the urge to lash out, and I also notice guilt about that urge.”

2.Nonjudgmental Awareness: Accepting that conflicting thoughts or feelings can coexist without needing to act on or resolve them immediately. Example: “Holding space for both the desire for autonomy and the need for closeness.

3.Present-Moment focus: Reduces rumination, which often fuel psychic conflict. Example: Instead of getting caught in cycles of “what I should’ve done,” attention is returned to the breath or bodily sensations.

4.Self-Compassion: Helps soothe the emotional suffering tied to internal conflict by softening harsh self-criticism (often a manifestation of superego pressure).

5.Increased Ego Strength: Mindfulness promotes a more observing, integrated self-enhancing the ego’s ability to tolerate and integrate opposing drives.

Clinical Example:

A patient feels torn between staying in a demanding caregiving role (out of duty/guilt---Superego) and pursuing their own goals (out of personal desire---Id). Rather than immediately suppressing one side (e.g., through rationalization---defense mechanism), mindfulness helps them:

• Recognize both motivations without judgment.

• Sit with the discomfort of the ambivalence.

• Eventually respond with clarity and values-based action
