@the.psychguide: Authenticity seems to be a common things that comes up in therapy these days. There are many people who feel disconnected in their life, or are struggling to find things that give them joy or meaning. The true/false self is a common thread that runs through some of these identity concerns. If we’re living a life that doesn’t feel like our own, we can go on autopilot and just coast through our lives. People will often feel like they are “new versions of themselves” after getting out of a bad relationship or job. They reconnect with friends, reengage in activities like fitness or old hobbies, and focus more on what they want from life. The good news, is that we can do this intentionally no matter what our situation is. Take some time to reflect and write about things that you’d like to explore, or that have drifted off in your life, and what you’d like to reintroduce. #authenticity #identity #psychologist #selfhelp #poppsychology Toronto psychologist | Toronto therapist | Psychologist Toronto | Licensed psychologist | Trauma therapist Toronto | Anxiety therapist Toronto | Psychology advice | Therapist advice | Mental health education | Evidence based therapy
