Introduction
The Phase 6 theme is double here with the themes of neglect, dirty, offensive, ugly, lazy.
They feel extremely neglected, by both parents and husband and friends. They feel just tolerated, they are allowed to stay only as long as the others can use and abuse them. They do not feel respected and loved, more like being seen and treated as dirt, disgusting, waste, ugly, offensive. They have a fear of being rejected but know that as long as they adapt and tolerate the nasty behaviour of their family and friends they will be accepted.
They can think negative about themselves, that there is something wrong with them, that their self-worth is lacking. They can feel ugly, unattractive, not worth loving. They can have the idea that they are offensive, have a bad smell. They feel easily embarrassed by their behaviour thinking they have offended or humiliated someone, or made them dirty physically or socially.
They become sensitive to everything that is offensive, unjust, unfair, ugly, indecent. They can get the idea that sex is dirty and ugly and thus keep away from it despite their desire. They feel part of the family but think about leaving as it does not give them enough love and respect.
