Ego

Ego is a concept that describes the sense of self and, in psychoanalysis, the part of the personality that mediates between impulses, norms and reality.

Definicja

In everyday language, ego often means pride, resentful ambition, or self-absorption. In Freud's psychoanalysis, the ego has a different meaning: it is the part of the personality associated with contact with reality, planning, evaluation and mediation between drives and norms. Nowadays, it is worth using this concept carefully, because it has different meanings in psychology, philosophy, spirituality and everyday language.

When you feel offended, write down: what actually happened, what was violated in my self-image, and what response would be mature, not defensive.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to equate all self-care with selfishness. It is also a mistake to use the concept of "ego" as a universal explanation for all problems.
