Who Am I Becoming?

Life transitions often bring an unexpected question to the surface: Who am I now?

When identities shift — through divorce, parenthood, career changes, illness, relocation, or caregiving — there is often grief that goes unnamed. Not only for what was lost, but for versions of yourself that no longer fit.

Identity Loss Is a Real Form of Grief

Identity grief doesn’t always come with a clear ending. It shows up quietly:

  • Feeling disoriented or untethered

  • Longing for an older version of yourself

  • Guilt for missing who you used to be

  • Pressure to “move on” before you feel ready

Therapy for identity shifts allows space for this grief to be acknowledged rather than bypassed.

Therapy as a Space for Redefining Yourself

Individual therapy during identity transitions focuses on meaning-making rather than fixing. It invites curiosity instead of judgment.

Through therapy, you can:

  • Explore who you’ve been and who you’re becoming

  • Process grief without rushing resolution

  • Reconnect with values beneath roles and expectations

  • Build a sense of self that feels authentic and sustainable

This kind of work is especially important during periods of life transition, when old frameworks no longer apply.

Individual Therapy and Deeper Work Options

For some, weekly individual therapy provides steady support. For others, extended sessions or therapy intensives offer the time needed to explore identity shifts more deeply.

At Inward Motion Counseling Group, we collaborate with you to determine what level of support fits your needs.
