What You Were Born With and What You've Become
You arrived with something — a temperament, instincts, unique talents and aptitudes — that was yours before anything happened to you. Therapy helps you find it again.
Most people think of themselves as either who they've been shaped to be or who they were born as — but rarely both at once. The truth is more layered. You arrived with something: a temperament, instincts, unique talents, aptitudes and potential that was yours before anything happened to you.
On top of that foundation, life builds layers — experiences, roles, beliefs, values,relationships, wounds, achievements. These layers are real and they matter. But they're not the foundation. The person underneath them is still there.
Therapy often involves learning to distinguish between the two — between what you've adapted to be and what was always true about you. Not to discard the layers, but to understand which ones you chose and which were put there by circumstances.
