- Help your client find a life worth living
- People need meaning to thrive
- Struggle that all people face in striving to develop a sense of self as an autonomous individual
- destructive forces operate within the self, the family, and society that limit or seriously damage
- The process of developing a strong sense of self:
- break from the critical, hostile attitudes toward self
- alter the negative personality traits in oneself that mirror bad parts of our parents
- identify and let go of defense patterns that used to be adaptive to painful events
- develop one’s own values, ideals, and beliefs
