“My Ego is on Holiday” – when you no longer want to take everything from school home with you
A difficult conversation with a parent. A comment from a colleague. A student who knows exactly how to push your buttons.
And even though the situation is long over, it is still on your mind hours later.
Often, this is not because we are “too sensitive”. It is because certain situations
trigger automatic patterns of behaviour in us.
“My Ego is on Holiday” helps you recognise exactly these patterns.
Not through dry theory, but through typical situations from everyday school life – combined with
simple exercises that help you respond more consciously and confidently.
Which pattern do you recognise in yourself?
In the book, you will meet five typical patterns:
- Perfektion-Pepina – when good is never good enough
- Empathie-Emira – when you carry everyone else’s problems with you
- Macht-Madita – when you need control to feel secure
- Demut-Debald – when you believe your opinion does not matter
- Ego-Eginald – when you believe you are the only one who really knows what is going on
Perhaps you will recognise yourself in one of them immediately. Or perhaps, as you read,
you will notice that different patterns appear in different situations.
And this is exactly where self-reflection begins: not by judging yourself,
but by understanding what is happening inside you.
