Self psychology

Self psychology emphasizes that the self develops through relationships where we feel genuinely seen and understood—not through criticism or withdrawal. It reframes many psychological struggles as arising from empathic failures in early connection and offers a pathway through recognizing and meeting those unmet developmental needs.
