“Who am I? Am I good enough?”

Do more. Be better. Try harder. Your inner critic evaluates your every move, and the running commentary is not a nice one. The pressure can be overwhelming. You wonder if you are on the right path and if you are the person you want to be. You struggle to find yourself amidst the expectations, the self-doubt and comparison to others. No matter what you do or how hard you work, it never feels like enough. You wish you could just enjoy your life, rather than always trying to figure it out or change it, but self-acceptance and self-love feel elusive and out of reach. It all feels so exhausting.

What if being and loving yourself was less of a struggle?

Your identity shift doesn’t have to be an identity crisis. It is normal for your identity to change throughout your life. Finding, discovering and connecting to yourself during these changes is crucial if you want to live a fulfilling life and have more meaningful relationships. Our therapists in Newport Beach can help you (re)discover your identity and live a life congruent with your authentic self.
