Who am I?
A great question to sit with, and to discover......an answer, many answers, as you sit with. Some things I have learnt. Many roles I played, were exactly that.....like an outfit I put on, a character in a play....some got so fused I thought that was who I was, and yet, I discovered in the unravelling, they were adaptations to circumstances and contexts, beyond my control and yet the choices were mine. Entangled in relationship laden with duties and obligations it can be hard to discern who you are. Breathe. Create some space. I offer this......instead of trying to work out authentic you, try asking what is authentic to me right now? in expression....to share what is real in the moment, and in time that will reveal. Seeing a therapist can help because it is someone not in your life, where you will likely bring things that you wouldn't to others. Where you have some space to explore without expectations and agenda....to discover....more of who you are. There are many things I would do differently now.
