The Johari Window is a tool that can help you understand yourself better by shining a light on both what you know about yourself and what others see in you. It's a simple yet powerful way to build self-awareness and improve your relationships with others. I love using the Johari window in my sessions/workshops. I love this technique, and I used it on myself and in practice.
The Johari Window is divided into four areas: the open self, which includes everything you know about yourself and others know too, the blind spot, which includes things others see in you that you're unaware of, the hidden self, where you keep private information about yourself, and the unknown self, which has aspects of you that neither you nor others are aware of yet. To use the Johari Window to make the unconscious conscious, start by exploring your "open self." This is the part of you that's visible to both yourself and others. The more you understand your strengths and areas for growth here, the better you'll be at navigating relationships and challenges. Ask your friends, family, or colleagues what they like or notice about you to gain a clearer picture of your traits. This feedback helps you recognize the strengths you may take for granted and notice areas where you could improve. Next, focus on your "blind spot" – things others see in you that you might not be aware of. This could be certain behaviours, habits, or even unconscious biases. Getting feedback from people you trust can help you become aware of these blind spots. For example, you might discover a tone of voice or mannerism you use that others find off-putting without even realizing it. While understanding and working on your blind spots, you can improve how you relate to others and become more mindful of your actions. The "hidden self" is where you store personal secrets, fears, or vulnerabilities that you keep from others. It's important to explore this area with care, perhaps through journaling or therapy, to see what's hidden beneath the surface. Opening up to trusted friends or a coach can help you uncover what you've been keeping secret. Finally, the "unknown self" is the most mysterious part of the window—these are things about you that neither you nor others know. By engaging in activities like mindfulness, meditation, or even breathwork/toning, you may discover untapped potential or repressed emotions that can help you grow and move forward in life.
