A parental prohibition on life or a script message "Don't live" is most often adopted by a child in the form of a prohibition to want, to have desires of his own.
Often the prohibition against desire is expressed in the role of the Rescuer, who learns to enjoy life through the joy of fulfilling the desires of other people.
Only by saving another, a person with a ban on life, receives an ersatz of joy and thinks how good it is when the other is good. Well, I don't need anything.
It can be very difficult for such a person to understand his desires - he actually physically feels the inner block, when asked: "What do I want?"
The "Don't live" scenario is a message from the side of the parental figure, which is accepted by a young child as the priority of the parent's wishes and wishes over his desires.
How to understand your desires when prescribing "Don't Live"?
Every reader of the article will probably remember doing the "100 Wishes" practice on Christmas Eve.
How? Hard. You could hear the gears in your brain turning. Many suddenly began to cry, realizing that they did not know what they wanted.
By the way, the author of the article is an adherent of the idea that the lack of desires is not a consequence of depression, but on the contrary, depression most often affects people who do not know what they want. People who accepted the script "Don't Live".
The maximum that each "practitioner" knew and could clearly answer - this is what he definitely does not want. Horror.
This is what the practice of "how to understand what I want" is based on.
Take a piece of paper and dividing it in half, conduct a negative brainstorming session with yourself, in the first column again and again answer the question:
"What I definitely don't want under any circumstances?"
This is where things will go livelier. I checked.
When the first column is filled with answers to this question, take a break for a couple of days and seek 1-2 consultations with a script psychologist.
At these meetings, you will need to remember the situations in which you accepted the ban on desires and undergo re-decision therapy in order to receive "permission to live", permission to have your desires without feeling guilty.
After that, go back to the piece of paper and fill in the second column with your desires based on what you DO NOT want. Literally opposite concepts.
The second option, to understand what you want is to spy on what others want and taste their wishes, try them on for yourself. If you like it - take it!

In the family system, all of its members are interconnected. And there is a place for everyone. For example, children are in front of their parents in order to be able to lean on them.
