MidAmerican Psychological Institute
Pickslyde Consulting

Key Points

  1. Self-as-context or the core self is the perspective from which a person’s experience unfolds. The place from which observations are made.
  2. It helps build psychological flexibility because it loosens up attachments to language of their conceptualized self.
  3. Often taught with meditative or metaphorical interventions.
