Girl-Boy

The Creators/Girl-Boy Pattern
(Conscious Girlchild, Subconscious Boychild)

The conscious Girlchild, subconscious Boychild pattern is extremely creative and leads people towards non-linear, artistic occupations. Girl-Boys tend to be the ones who lay the golden eggs in any organization. Their double-child archetypal charm gives them a powerful stage presence. They can make people believe in them and relate to them on a personal level. They are wonderful front-line people. They love to interface with the public, and they have a nice soft touch and comfortable presence. Having conscious Girlchild makes them open, available and sensitive to other people's needs.

Girl-Boys are complex in that they can take people by surprise. Girlchild at the conscious level is extraordinarily sensitive and caring. She is demure, she has a melodic voice and she would not say “boo” to a goose. Yet behind her Little Red Riding Hood hides a big bad wolf—subconscious Boychild aggression. The hidden toughness of Boychild behind Girlchild’s carefree, sensitive and sometimes naïve front takes people by surprise. People are drawn to Girl-Boys' fragile charm and are also impressed by their no-nonsense response to challenging situations that surfaces when least expected.

People who have subconscious Boychild do not look like the fighting type. Some think they are dealing with “Hello, kitty” but find out they really have a tiger by the tail. Behind their easygoing Girlchild front is an indefatigable Boychild who can outlast everyone. Girl-Boys may look like they are a piece of cake but if you give them a bite, you will suffer long-term ramifications, because they are as tough as nails inside. Girl-Boys usually cannot recognize that they could have any intention to harm, and they are often able to convince others of their harmlessness. Nevertheless, they can become formidable foes when you step on their conscious Girlchild’s toes.

Even when their aggressive victim pattern is obvious to others, they themselves are usually unaware of just how much aggression they release. It is also difficult for them to take responsibility for their subconscious excessive drive for control. When they are confronted, they use Girlchild as a front. “How can you say I’m over-controlling when I am such an easygoing, accommodating person?” they exclaim. Then they become offended. They do not see that deep inside them lies a Boychild counter-punch to the aggressive treatment they may have received as children.

When Girl-Boys are upset, they can fill a room with the negativity churning from their subconscious and not even notice. To release their creativity within the confines of a structure, Girl-Boys need direction and guidelines that do not stifle them. Otherwise, all of their creativity will be lost as they balk against what corrals them and activates their victim pattern.

We need to approach Girl-Boys with the understanding. Their subconscious Boychild needs to know we have no intention to harm, so he can relax while we talk to Girlchild. As long as subconscious Boychild does not pick up any will to harm, Girlchild will shower us with love, because she ever so much wants to be the joy, the light and the pink in every room.

Girl-Boys long for a sense of connection with others, but first, they must learn to forgive those who have hurt them in the past. This can be tough, especially in the face of those who do not understand their injury and want them to get over it immediately. Girl-Boys must learn to say, “I am no longer the victim, and therefore, my power no longer resides in you.” It is their key to personal overcoming. They must also be willing to acknowledge when subconscious Boychild is misbehaving. If they do not, they will appear hypocritical to others, who will detect Boychild’s plots under Girlchild’s projection of innocence, easygoingness and goodwill.

Girl-Boys find no difficulty tuning into their muse—the source of their creative power and divine inspiration. Their intuition is astonishing, and they are usually right on the money. When they are loved and accepted, Girl-Boys show us time and time again that they often know more than they even know they know.

~Girl-Boys are extremely creative, artistic and intuitive.

~They want to be the joy, the pink, the comfort in every room.

~They appear to be easygoing and accommodating but can become aggressive in a pinch.

~They need direction and guidelines that do not stifle them.

~They often receive criticism and abandonment from those who do not appreciate their gifts.

The Girl-Boy pattern is described in greater detail in the books, The Inner Family Archetypes: Building Loving Relationships Through Divine Self-Awareness and Why We Do What We Do.
