In my over a decade of education, training and direct clinical experience, I have come to know that in the course of psychotherapy you will go through three phases:

1. You come to the realization of your beliefs (means=mind).

2. You come to know yourself much more deeply (notitia sui=self-knowledge).

3. Then (and only then) you come to love yourself more thoroughly (amour sui=self-love).

Not three separate things rather three elements, three movements, three dynamics within the same self that will liberate you from your disorder(s)!
