What if the key to modern mental health wasn’t just empathy or mindfulness—but a full-scale reintegration of the self under fire? In this episode, we take you inside elevate.epo’s clinical war room to explore why Otto Kernberg remains the GOAT of personality theory. With precision and bite, we dismantle his 2015 paper on neurobiological object relations theory—and show how elevate.epo took it to the next level.

You’ll hear:

  • Why splitting isn’t just a defense—it’s an early survival structure
  • How the brain literally can’t integrate love and hate until a certain point of development
  • Why empathy alone can’t fix identity diffusion
  • The clinical gold buried in transference-focused therapy (TFP)
  • And how elevate.epo rebuilds identity from the inside out

This isn’t healing. It’s reconstruction.

This is elevate.epo
