Not all therapy works that way.
For a lot of people seeking therapy, their issues do start with a personal sense of lacking. Starting with helping them to love themselves first makes sense.
If someone goes to a therapist with narcissistic tendencies or anger issues, I would expect less of the "me first" approach.
- citrate05 6y agoI’d actually go so far as to say that I’m not familiar with any legitimate therapeutic approach that is not concerned with how the patient treats others. I’ve definitely read self-help books that seemed to be advocating for narcissistic behavior, but they weren’t written by mainstream psychologists or therapists.
