Hmmmmm... Maybe I don't have the concept down as well as I thought. I *think* it's your store of coping skills and abilities that you can apply when adverse events happen so that you don't fall apart. I always feel like one of those screen savers that dissolves into lots and lots of little squares before reforming into another picture? If that makes sense? That's why I call my therapist (and the Risperdal) my ego glue.
I'm not sure if that's the same as differentiation or not... Does differentiation have to be in relation to other people? I think you can have poor ego strength all alone.
lol. Gosh, it sounds funny to talk about these concepts without a therapist in the room. :)
I haven't studied much family systems concepts. Perhaps I ought to.
