CHAPTER SEVEN The Self in Action By now you hopefully have a clear idea what the Self is and what it means to be Self-led. In this chapter, I want to take a closer look at how achieving Self- leadership affects your life both inside and outside. Developmental psychology and attachment theory have helped us understand what children need from their caretakers as they develop.

The Self in Action

Introduction
As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with many
people who came to me shortly after their lives
had crashed. Everything was going great until the sudden heart
attack, divorce, or death of a child. If not for that life-jarring
event, they would never have thought to see a therapist,
because they felt successful.
After the event they can’t find the same drive or
determination. Their former goals of having big houses or
reputations have lost their meaning. They feel at sea and
vulnerable in a way that’s unfamiliar and scary.
