Our real self is behind that, and what we don't know is that who we are is much better than the self that we've created, than the self that we've fabricated.
Ever wondered who you truly are versus who you think you need to be? In this engaging episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, host Monty Dale Meyer sits down with Dr. Allen Berger to unpack the concepts of True Self and False Self. Dr. Berger, a respected psychotherapist, delves into how our True Self seeks genuine connection and purpose, while our False Self is a façade we create to manage our interactions and gain approval from others.
This False Self often plays a significant role in addiction, making it crucial to recognize and address it for lasting recovery. Dr. Berger draws on the work of Dr. Karen Horney, who challenged Freud’s views by attributing psychological differences between men and women to societal and cultural influences rather than biology. Through this lens, the discussion reveals how societal pressures can shape our False Self, distancing us from our authentic True Self.
The conversation takes listeners on a journey to understand how living authentically—aligned with our True Self—can foster emotional sobriety and personal growth. Dr. Berger encourages letting go of the compromises and disowned parts that make up the False Self, advocating for a life grounded in honesty and authenticity. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in personal development, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of embracing your True Self.
It's a must-listen for anyone aiming to enhance their emotional well-being and lead a more fulfilling life.
