  • Sartre’s “Bad Faith” vs. the False Self: The Psychological Cost of Living an Inauthentic Life

    Sartre’s “Bad Faith” vs. the False Self: The Psychological Cost of Living an Inauthentic Life
    2026/05/03
    Examine the striking convergence between Jean-Paul Sartre’s concept of “bad faith” — the self-deception that denies personal freedom and responsibility — and Donald Winnicott’s psychoanalytic “False Self,” the defensive persona constructed to meet external demands at the expense of authentic existence.
This episode explores how inauthentic living creates profound psychological costs, including emotional numbness, identity fragmentation, chronic anxiety, and relational emptiness.
Essential listening for psychologists, psychotherapists, philosophers, coaches, and individuals seeking deeper self-understanding and pathways toward authentic living and psychological integration.
