Na rozdrożu: między autentycznym życiem a uzależnieniem od siebie. Dlaczego tak trudno się zmienić?

Addiction is a process which is rightly associated mainly with psychoactive and risky substances, as well as various behaviours which “get out of control”. However, psychologists point at addiction to oneself and describe it as a situation in which the addicted person lacks self-consciousness and consequences of his or her own deeds. Changes, introduced in order to avoid addiction to oneself, show also need to reform and improve a style of life especially when it is too stiff or unilateral. Addiction to oneself or authentic life – it is a choice between lack of influence on one’s life on the one hand and autonomous and authentic personality on the other.
