<p>The rescripted self refers to a person who has achieved both competency and success in life, and who has attained a state of being that is characterized by happiness and wellbeing. Rescripting therapy is my method for achieving this, first by changing the parts that make up the self, and then changing the self as a whole. We will use function-focused rescripting to change the component parts of the self, and integrative-rescripting to change the self as a whole. Competency and wellbeing are the primary goals in life; by rescripting the self we improve our ability to function successfully in life, while also attaining a state of emotional wellbeing and fulfillment.Affects make up the fundamental processes underlying our emotional and psychological life. What we feel when emotional is essentially the physical sensations associated with affects. The rapid heartbeat and labored breathing when scared is that of the affect fear-terror, while the relaxed feeling of calmness is based on the affect enjoyment-joy; in other words, affects make up the physical experiences of an emotion. They are innate neurobiological functions, unlike emotions, which are combinations of both affect and cognition and, rather than being inborn, are based on learned experiences. In other words, affects refer to what some call the "basic" or "inborn" emotions."In general, then, we can say that there are two primary goals in life, the first to function competently in the world, the second to live life with emotional wellbeing. To function competently in life is essential for survival, safety and security; it is also essential for wellbeing. However, just because one functions well does not necessarily mean that one feels well; although affect-regulation is a necessary component for wellbeing, the necessary and essential factor is the integration of the self.</p>
