Although I find it most useful to use somewhat of an eclectic approach, giving the space and freedom to mold therapy around the client, I am most inclined to use the Self Psychology approach. Self Psychology addresses itself to relationships and their internalization, distortions, and repetition.
Understanding your feelings and emotions allows for more honest relationships.
Self-psychology centers around empathy, growth, and the healthy development of the individual. It is concerned with interpersonal relations and representations. One important benefit of self-psychology is that individuals can learn to trust themselves more and become more autonomous.
Learning to trust yourself is an important key to self-sufficiency, relationship, and career success because no one will trust you if you don’t trust yourself.
Self-psychology can help people to become more aware of their own feelings and needs, as well as the feelings and needs of others, making it a valuable to those struggling with issues related to their sense of self or identity or developing better relationships with others.
