Another blog drew my attention to this course offered by the Lower Hutt Women's Centre. My only point of interest is the last sentence. What does it mean? What's the difference between "yourself" and "your self" (apart from a tab space)?
Assertiveness for Women
Assertiveness is the ability to express yourself and your rights without violating the rights of others. It is appropriately direct, open, and honest communication which is self-enhancing and expressive. Acting assertively will give you the opportunity to feel self-confident and will generally gain you the respect of yourself and your peers and friends. It can increase your chances for honest relationships, and help you to feel better about yourself and your self in everyday situations.

I can't answer your query,It does however remind me of a conundrum which may have emanated from the same source....An elderly couple were contemplating matrimony and the issue of sexual relations arose. The prospective bride declared that she would like it infrequently. The old suitor thought for a moment and said "Is that one word or two."
Baxter, that'll be the same couple (of very mature years), where the suitor remarked after their first night of passion: "but......you were still a virgin!, upon which the old lass remarks, but no.....I didn't have time to take my pantyhose off!
The difference between yourself and your self is several decades of new age psychobabble.

It may be an attempt at a plain English presentation of Freud's ego/id/superego theory:
