How to rediscover your identity
Losing our identity can happen for many reasons. It can happen quickly or gradually, for known and unknown reasons, and be personal and professional in nature such as divorce and redundancy. A loss of identity changes our relationship with the world around us, detaching us from old certainties and transforming our once-familiar world into a strange, sometimes scary place. There is a whole category of language for losing our identity in the form of words, metaphor, imagery and story. This language becomes how we try to make sense of what we are going through, and herein lies the way back. For this language only exists because so many people have gone down this path before us – and found themselves again. How they did so is the subject of my blog, ‘How to rediscover your identity.’
