Raisin,
I love Kohut! I think he was brilliant and his ideas about the self make so much sense to me. He is right up there with Winnicott for me. My therapist will quote Kohut sometimes, along with James Hillman. He tells me often that Hillman says psychopathology is the speech of the suffering soul or the souls suffering of meaning.
I wish I could set aside my own critical voice and allow myself to feel all these primal needs. But I feel super foolish. Isn't it too late? Aren't I too old? And so the struggle goes.
I wish you peace too.
Daisy
