English to Italian Social Sciences Psychology Sé

Care colleghe e colleghi,
sono un po’ incerta sulla resa di “selfing” nei brani riportati di seguito.
L’autore distingue tra una dimensione del Sé statica e dai confini ben definiti, in cui Sé (Self) è un “sostantivo”, e una dimensione dinamica, in divenire e imprevedibile, per la quale ha coniato un neologismo aggiungendo la desinenza verbale a Self: un self-ing.
Sto oscillando tra due soluzioni: lasciare in inglese (però mi ricorda il selfie...) o creare un “neologismo” in italiano. Cosa ne pensate? Il libro ha un taglio divulgativo...
Grazie mille per i vostri suggerimenti!
********************
How do you construe the self of you? In English, adding “-ing” to the end of “self” – *** “selfing” *** – changes the noun notion of self into a verb-like word: I am selfing. Can you feel ** a selfing *** with the somatic source of sensation, perspective, and agency as your individual, independent self-construal?
(...) Who we are is a noun-like and a verb-like self with patterns emerging through a center of body-based energy flow that is grounded, in part, in the realm of space and time in its entity-based realm. And who we are is also apparent in a more verb-like mode, *** the selfing *** of an inner bodily “me” as well as the dynamic, ever-changing “we” in the hugely connected emergence that includes as well as transcends the classical physics distinctions of space and time, riding the metapatterns that connect us all.
