Welcome to
The View of Self
A podcast exploring how our view of self is formed, reshaped, and healed in connection with others.
"We do not become who we are, by ourselves." – Robin Williams Blake
We all have one… a story.
A story of who we are that is delicately shaped over time in relationship with the world. View of Self is a podcast about the stories we carry inside — and how those stories are shaped in connection with others. Hosted by Emotionally Focused Therapy trainer Robin Williams Blake, the show blends attachment science, emotion theory, and personal narratives, and hopefully will leave folks with interesting tidbits to reflect on.
Sue Johnson, my mentor, always taught me that in EFT our goal is to make the implicit explicit. Knowing more about how we tick as human beings is empowering. Each episode explores how we come to see ourselves, how those views can shift, and what it takes to move from self-doubt to self-trust.
This is a space where diversity is essential, where all identities are welcome, and where every listener can find threads of belonging in the fabric of human connection. Later in the series, we will hear from individuals from different walks of life who have experienced the world in different ways to learn more about the view of self and how it is created in relationship with others.
"Throughout life, we are sustained by the secure bonds we build with others."
– John Bowlby
Why This Matters (Attachment Science Callout)
We come to know ourselves through the reflections we see in the eyes of others. Research in attachment science shows that feeling accepted and safe in relationships shapes a positive view of self — and helps us grow.
"Love is not a bargain, it’s a bond." – Dr. Sue Johnson
