"Jodi's love affair with her plaster mask" |
Jodi does not seem to be getting the symbolism of the mask at all.Quite to the contrary she seems to be relishing keeping it.She casts it,paints it,embellishes it,carefully puts it away,probably kisses and loves it."Oh,I'm going to be painting my mask what FUN."Strangely enough Kim and Kelly have finally found something they AGREE about.They both agree that Jodi is an egotistical head case.Which coming from the two of them is ironic to say the least.This exercise needs to get ALOT more unpleasant for Jodi.Hopefully Iyanla will make her actually wear it.

Once again a sign IV doesn't know how to reach her clients. This whole mask thing should have been discarded when it was obviously not reaching Jodi. Instead it has become the metaphor that never dies. Jodi doesn't get it and the mask has become a HG on it's own. Will it get its own room and goals?

Did anyone >notice her dismissive hand-motion when >she placed the critiques into >the box? It was >like she was "washing her >hands of it". Yeah. And, did y'all notice when Jodi tripped over, "Uh, we're going to DECORATE, uh, I mean, EMBELLISH the mask?" (We don't want to get it wrong here, right Jodi? Decorate means this is supposed to be FUN.) Or, how about Jodi completely missing the symbolism of the fact the mask was not HER, but the MASK that she kept on? So, when Jodi said, "I didn't really want to share this with my HM, because it makes you vulnerable. And, Kim and Kelly both wrote 'arrogant' but I can accept that, because I know sometimes I can be arrogant." OK. Jodi chose to take their honest feedback about the MASK as attacking JODI. Isn't it possible that they were saying that the ARROGANCE hid JODI? That's too deep for "Jodi on the Magical Thinking and Attacking Others to Burn Calories Diet Plan." I hope to goodness gravy that the fight that Jodi has with Kelly isn't about what Kelly wrote on the survey! I have a policy. If you can't handle a truthful answer to your question, don't ask the question. Jodi IS arrogant! She doesn't want the TRUTH. She wants HER "truth." Go home, Jodi. You've learned nothing.

I have to agree with ya on this one EMT. And I also have that same policy. Im such an honest person and if someone ask me a question you can believe Im not going to sugarcoat it like a lot of people do. And you also cracked me up with your "goodness gravey" LOL. Are you by any chance from the south? I am and that just sounds like something we would say.

I lived in South Carolina and Louisiana at different times, and married someone from the South (now divorced) but, I think I got the expression from my friend who is from Atlanta, GA. I now live near New York. That's another way of saying "lower Connecticut." LOL! Another thing I'd say about Jodi, that I got from Louisiana, "That poor child is a little bit 'country' but believes she's vogue enough for the big city! Po' thing! Her mamma should set her straight!"

I find it funny that IV keeps going on about Jodi being stubborn and yet IV keeps sticking with this stupid exercise when it obviously isn't working because she wants Jodi to fake a break through even is she isn't feeling one. After all all her others have.

I was waiting and witing to see what color she would chose for the neck. When she chose black, I thought, "smart girl!" If she got her neck lipo'd I think it would be okay and reasonable. Make a big difference.

I guess it is called art therapy. "Art Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses art-making and creativity to increase well-being." It's not about creating beautiful art but "is way to express feelings when words are inadequate or unavailable."

I can see the value in art therapy for someone who needs to get outside their head and express difficult feelings.But Jodi doesn't have a problem doing that.She is if anything histrionic,over the top in expressing exactly what she feels at the moment.Her problems seem to be being HONEST with herself ABOUT herself and being willing to accept criticism without seeing it as an attack.She's using this whole art exercise as a DIVERSONARY tactic.Just like she's using arguing with Kelly as a diversonary tactic.Why not just walk away from that mess?Don't even engage her in an argument.She loves that!It's ridiculous.Just one more tactic that Jodi uses to avoid confronting Jodi.Iyanla needs to drop the art exercises and send Jodi to a group where people are talking about confronting sexual identity issues. I honestly do not ever recall Jodi telling Dr.Stan "I'm not attracted to men."But if she did someone was really remiss in not discussing that ALOT further.Much less sending her to a dating session with a bunch of men.Much less going around in endless circles battling Jodi's stubborness.

LAST EDITED ON 04-14-06 AT 01:16 AM (EST)>I think that the whole point >of the exercise was to >teach Jodi that she is >hiding behind a mask, and >that she needs to break >free of it. She needs >to remove the mask she >wears and be open and >vulnerable to life and others. > >Then she needs to destroy the >mask as a symbol of >the change she is making. > >Instead the stupid woman hangs on >to the thing and treats >it like an old and >cherished friend. Painting it, decorationg >it, hauling it around, crying >over it. I was hoping that after Board of Review that Jodi would put her mask in the box with all of the alcohol. Throw it away with the other trash that can impair healing. To me, that would have really meant something big for her and would have been a great symbolic breakthrough. During Art Therapy, Jodi did say that she didn't want to keep the mask. Then, the art therapist, Trish, told her to consider keeping it so she can look back and see the mask that she shed. To keep it to see how far she has come or where she has been? (Not Trish's exact words, but that was the idea.) I don't know what the best choice would be for Jodi. Maybe the mask shouldn't have been aired and/or used as a tool in Jodi's work. I do feel, personally, that Jodi is definitely stuck on the mask. Like she is trying to move forward but keeps tripping over this mask. Perhaps Jodi doesn't get it, but I can't help but think that isn't entirely her fault. She has been told to do several different things with it from several different people. Maybe right now she should put the mask away and move on with her exercises. As Jodi heals and learns more about who Jodi really is, I have a feeling that she'll know what to do with the mask. Remember, Kim was going to keep the suitcase so she could show it to her mother in order to make her feel badly for the abandonment. After reflecting on it, she started to tear it up even before they shared their work and went to the fireplace. That suitcase was keeping Kim stuck for some time. She didn't know what to do with it, and then all of a sudden the answer became clear to her. It may be taking Jodi longer than Kim to figure out what to do, but, I think that will happen with Jodi and the mask. The Mask needs to be retired for now and then revisited when Jodi is ready. I believe that at some point the answer to what to do with The Mask is going to become completely clear to Jodi.

I noticed that too!! Its the hookers artwork! It looked like it was falling off the wall.. I guess she couldnt sell it on e-bay! They should put the mask in the middle of the flower and call it "I want to Live!"

My thoughts exactly. Maybe she thinks Iyanla and the HG's will want to hold it and caress it once she leaves. Ick! She is so stuck on herself that it is gross.

When I saw Jodi with Iyanla preparing to destroy her mask I had to laugh. She is such a drama queen and so utterly fake. Her heavy breathing and crying reminded me of Tess. She obviously doesn't get the exercise because she still thinks everything revolves around her. Part of her mask is the fake attention getting stuff over her false claims of things such as every HG leaving is so hard for her, how they are leaving her, how they are her girl etc etc. When she does that it puts the attneiton o her but not in the areas it needs to be like losing weight, getting a true picture of reality,admitting she is fat and NOT a size 14, not making everything about her etc. She is so in love with herself that she can't see anyone else but to try to appear loving she play acts over incidents to be the grieving victim.
