Aristotle said, “Self Knowledge is the beginning of all wisdom,” a sentiment repeated by numerous sages over the ages. But sadly, this view has been neglected in the recent psychological lexicon. This session examines self knowledge from many perspectives, sharing why it hasn’t been included in empirical psychology, the many benefits it offers to any individual, and the means of building greater self knowledge and the resulting solid self esteem. Confidence, self-determination, freedom in thought and action, courage to be true to one’s self, plus better mental health are all benefits of greater self knowledge. Research has shown that good self esteem is protective and curative for the internalizing disorders of depression, anxiety, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts as well as the externalizing disorders of substance abuse, violence and destructiveness.
Drawing on psychological theory and research, the field of biography work, and the proven benefits of spirituality/religiousness all grounded in therapeutic practice, an approach to helping clients acquire greater self knowledge will be explicated. The attendees will both learn the underlying theory and validating research behind this approach as well as experience some of the interventions.
In this therapeutic approach the components of the client’s self from the initial endowments from nature (heredity), nurture (environment), innate characteristics, on to biography work to reflect on the developing self throughout their life story. To complete the picture the higher self, the shadow self (as articulated by CJ Jung) and consideration of spirituality as well as self esteem are explored.
After the session, the attendees will understand the importance and value of self knowledge, learn how to help clients awaken to their authentic self and see their lives as heroic journeys. Methods, contents, formats to achieve good therapeutic results are given life in this journey of self knowledge.
