Does Our True Self Require Selfishness? (7 min video)

"Winnicott advanced the view that healthy developmental invariably requires us to experience the immense, life-sustaining luxury of a period when we do not have to bother with the feelings and opinions of those who are tasked with looking after us."

Today, we take a look at a video from The School of Life, which suggests that we need to pass through a selfish phase before we are able to find our true self.

Does this ring true for you internally?

Warm regards,
