Daisy "The Healer"- a Spiral Dynamics case study

[Bernardo Carleial]

 

Daisy "The healer", is a woman who became known for walking around Venice Beach L.A and try to help the homeless living there with words of affection and acts of service, which would be the typical vMEME Green stereotype.

However, her case is a little bit different, which makes it such an interesting case for us to discuss, because although she has reach Green, she has a lot of shadows, like some narcissistic traits in her personality, and a lot of "allergies" of the previous stages of the Spiral, which makes her locked in her bubble of Green, which can become toxic and unhealthy.

 

And it can become very counterproductive as well with her mission, because to truly help this people in need, she needs to talk to institutions, law enforcement agencies, maybe even politicians in order to have more leverage on how to solve it. Maybe she needs to go to therapy and get some treatment in the conventional way... 

 

In other words, she would have to reconcile with the other stage of the spiral, in order to become more actualized. 

 

Her case is also interesting because of the backlash that it causes, people from vMEME Blue and Orange will strawman Green's worldview and project all their values into Daisy's half-assed growth, which makes them even more locked into their own stages...

 

 

What you guys think of this? I would love to see your opinion and have a nice discussion about it😉

I'd say she's some combination of trauma + potential mental illness + SD Green group think.

She can barely stay out of jail, let alone solve deep systemic problems.
