Notes
Ego modes are triggered by environmental and social conditions. An environment characterized by food scarcity will, for example, trigger Deficit Mode. An environment where the individual is subject to threat will trigger Defense Mode.
| Ego Mode | Trigger | Focus of Energy | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth Mode | All Seven Essential Needs are met in a Right Environment | Connection, creativity, learning, spiritual expansion | Optimal development and flourishing of the Physical Unit |
| Deficit Mode | Chronic deprivation of needs (e.g., love, safety, nutrition) | Seeking gratification, compensation, addictive or compulsive behaviors | Diminishment, behavioral dysfunction, vulnerability to manipulation |
| Defense Mode | Exposure to threat, neglect, abuse, or invalidation | Protection, defensive posturing, withdrawal, reactivity | Disconnection, stagnation, arrested development |
| Repair Mode | Emergence of awareness and access to Healing Environment | Healing, recovery, reintegration, reconnection | Restoration of Growth Mode, reconnection, transformation |
