 This approach has helped many people, but, like with everything that
has to do with the nature of intra and interpersonal relationships, it is the responsible
thing to do to see that as people grow and develop and change, the systems that
they operate and live in do so as well.
The concept of self-concept comes from a very internalized individualized representation
that a person makes of themselves as a lone entity and cannot be experienced in
the same way once the focus of attention shifts. In other words, if someone is thinking
of themselves when in an interaction, then concepts such as "self-esteem" can be
referenced. However, when someone's attention is truly outside of themselves, there
is no "self" to consider. I mean this in a very specific way. When you consider
a time when you were so engrossed in a project or activity that completely grabbed
your attention, the fact is, unless you take your attention off that, there is no
"you" to consider. Yet you're still there.
Personal Growth Therapy
Taking this idea out into the world at larger... Methodologies and approaches
to what we once called simply "mental health" are widely varied and new paradigms
are emerging. One is centered around the realization that we all operate within
a system, that we are in fact not as individual as we once thought we were. In the
last century we have seen personal and social evolution grow at an explosive rate
never before seen in the history of humankind. Nowadays, there are still therapists
of course, but now practitioners and and systems for self liberation and realization
have grown exponentially. One can find a life coach for personal development (or
professional, relationship), you can listen to subliminal self-help audio tapes,
CDs and watch videos to help with virtually any condition one can think of that
one would like to change.
Self Help Publishing
With the explosive growth of the the Internet, help self publishing has become
possible in ways never before imagined. A system has emerged which allows people
to get ideas out into the world by putting up a web site, starting a blog, writing
an e-book, getting books printed on demand as well as create home made videos and
audio podcasts, just to name a few. Never before has the ability to get ideas out
been so widely available. Self-esteem articles on self-help websites such as this
are making it possible to help and be helped like never before. And we're just getting
started.
