“I’ve tried everything to change this part of my life. I know I need to change. I want to change, but I’ve run out of options. ” Michael said.
“What do you want out of life?” I ask.
“I want to be happy, but it has been so long, I don’t know what happiness is anymore. Is it even possible to achieve it?” he replies.
“It is possible. I can help. Tell me more.”
When you feel like hope and joy are absent from your life, you form an identity of yourself based on the negatives in your life. All the good things that happen throughout the day are not “noticed”, instead the unique negative occurrences become your focus. It’s time to get a clearer picture of life and to realize that hope is there and that your identity of self can be changed. Once you get this new perspective, you can begin to look at the behaviors that you want to change and working toward creating the life you desire.
Each person’s identity is unique, however, the way it is developed often follows a similar pattern. My goal is to help you see the process that you are using to create your identity minute by minute throughout the day and to assist you in modifying that process in order to create the identity you want. You can find more about my identity formation model on my Philosophy of Counseling page.
If you are ready to change something in your life and to rediscover your lost happiness then give yourself the gift of coming in for individual therapy. Everything we discuss, everything we do will be with these goals in mind.
