ego-self axis
Definition:
The ego-Self axis represents the dynamic relationship between the ego (conscious identity) and the Self (the totality of the psyche). This axis is essential for maintaining psychological equilibrium and enabling the individuation process. Disruptions in this relationship can result in neurosis or other psychological disturbances.
Example:
Strengthening the ego-Self axis helps clients develop a deeper connection to their inner Self, fostering harmony and wholeness. For instance, resolving ego conflicts through symbolic work can restore balance to this relationship.
