Sense of Self

Do You Struggle With:

  • Low self-esteem and the terrible feeling that you are not loveable?

  • A distressing sense that you are unknown or not who people think you are?

  • Lack of emotional resilience under stress?

  • Difficulties in making decisions, thinking independently, and being yourself in relationships?

  • Uncertainty about what you want from life, with regards to career, partner, values, or lifestyle?

Does This Sound Familiar?

“I have a world of feelings and thoughts inside but I hide it from the world around me.”

“Sometimes I just don’t know who I am. I can even feel unreal, insubstantial”

“I lose myself in relationships. It’s as though I have to leave myself at the doorstep to be with someone.”

“I feel either too close or too far. If I get close and intimate, it begins to feel smothering or even invasive. If I assert my separateness, I feel lonely and isolated.”


You Are Not Alone

Struggles with one’s sense of self impact the lives of a vast number of people and are one of the major reasons people seek therapy. They can have a pronounced effect on every area of life, including one’s sense of vitality, meaning and self-direction in life. They hinder one’s achievement of intimacy and authenticity in relationships, and one’s ability to handle the stress, challenges, and tragedies that come your way in life.
