True Self?

of course there is no actual true self, these are maps or models of consciousness or of human psyche. if what is your concern as a therapist who believes that self acceptance is the key to healing the self, then such concepts as true/false selves impedes the healing process rather that help, yes you may be right.

these ideas are rather philosophical in nature and wouldn't probably useful in a clinical scenario.

I wouldnt use them in a clinical way but am wondering what the benefit is in the spiritual community?

his is what you said ....

what if its just a "self" and the labels we give it are just judgements based on what we think is right or wrong

Ah, I can see what you were referring to. Thanks for pointing it out.
