The True and the False Self

Suggested viewing before we meet (6 1⁄2 min video): The True and the False Self

• In what ways would the expression of the false self be different from the true self?
• What conditions in a child's early life might lead them to create a false self "far too early"?
• Can the “true self” and “false self” coexist, and if so, how should they be utilized?
• How might psychotherapy provide a unique space for individuals to reclaim their "true self"?

Let's think about it together!
