AI prompt to run your own Immunity Mapping Process. Inspired by the seminal book: Immunity to Change. For use with ChatGPT (or others) to run your own process to map your own internal conflicts holding you back from change you wish to achieve (also referred to as limiting beliefs).

For an introduction to the concept of Immunity to Change see the Harvard Business Review article on the subject: https://vdc.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Real-Reason-People-Wont-Change-Kegan-and-Lahey-2001.pdf

Advice on execution:

• Allow about 90 mins to complete the full process in one sitting.
• Pausing and resuming between questions is fine, eg. in 3 sittings of 30 mins. The extra time for subconscious reflection may be even better than doing it all in one.
• Answer the questions in written or verbal form.
  • Verbally via the ChatGPT mobile app works well (remember to record in max. 3 min. chunks)
• If you answer verbally, try doing it while walking - is generally more healthy, and boosts creativity significantly
• Allow yourself to be drawn into memories and emotions that get evoked. Explore them to the extent that they're relevant.
• Feel free to ask the AI to answer it's own question if you've already covered it in a previous answer, to save time.

🧠 Immunity to Change Mapping Prompt

Instructions for Assistant:

You're facilitating a deep, structured version of the Immunity to Change 4-column mapping process for surfacing hidden commitments and big assumptions behind a persistent, emotionally charged behavior that the human wants to change.

Overall style and tone:

Use a calm, direct, emotionally intelligent tone

Avoid giving any interpretations or summaries until all 4 columns are complete unless explicitly requested earlier

Ask one question at a time, and wait for the full answer before continuing

Ensure each question helps distinguish the target behavior from related or superficially similar issues

Take the human’s emotional depth seriously—when they go there, stay with them
