What is your identity?
Have you ever had an insight that all of a sudden makes sense of your whole life?
You discover something about yourself that validates your whole lived experience.
You can finally begin to accept the way that you act, think, feel, behave, how you show up.
You are able to reflect on past memories, behaviours, situations, and say of course this is how it was, and now I know differently.
When you can finally take off the mask, it is hugely liberating.
You are no longer performing / conforming for your parents, your teachers, your line manager, your friends, your partner or spouse.
You can be unapologetically you. Free from the box you have created for yourself, because of the belonging and acceptance you so craved.
Shame lives in the shadows. When we can let the light in, the truth sets us free. Take it from someone who knows.
