Setbacks — whether in the form of psychiatric relapse, bereavement, trauma, or sudden shock — can shake, or even unravel, a person’s sense of identity. In the aftermath, reclaiming a coherent and meaningful sense of self becomes a vital part of recovery.
Identity is not fixed; it evolves in response to what we endure and how we grow. A key aspect of healing lies in recognising this change and embracing who you are now, rather than wrestling to return to who you once were — or to become someone else entirely.
Individual therapy can provide valuable space to explore and reconfigure your sense of self. Creative practices such as writing, art, or storytelling can also support this process, helping you reconnect with your voice and shape a renewed narrative of identity.
