English term or phrase: gratifyingly expansive lather of foam.

When I told patients who complained of lack of self-esteem (admittedly on a selected basis) that at least they had got one thing right, they did not grow angry or upset, but laughed instead as if they had known all along that their complaint was a charade. Of course they had things to complain of – we all do, and they had more than most – but the notion of lack of self-esteem actually discouraged them from examining those things honestly. It is worth comparing self-esteem with self-respect, a different matter altogether. The first is a self-regarding, unearned and fundamentally narcissistic quality, and the second is a social quality that imposes a discipline because it cannot be unconditional. Self-respect may make you acquiesce in the desires of others, or oppose them when they are wrong, but it is never a tepid bath of self-regard in bath salts dissolved into a gratifyingly expansive lather of foam.
