Critical Layer Of Psychopathology
The phony layer consists of the roles that we play, such as the leader who is in actuality shy. Instead of actualising our true selves, we try to actualise a concept and be something else because we don’t like what we are.
The phobic layer is our fear of rejection and/or pain that is consequence of being dissatisfied with our true selves. It contains all our catastrophic expectations from childhood, helping us to avoid what is hurting on the inside.
Impasse represents the most critical layer of psychopathology. Most people are stuck at impasse for fear of moving to a new point where the familiar environmental and social support are absent. It is inherently easier to remain at an impasse, where resources can be manipulated to comfort the client.
