Helping patients to live a life truer to who they are and still make it workable

Being able to live a life truer to oneself and one’s values, AND still makes it workable is a skill that is required for many of the folks I see.

They often believe that being themselves is not acceptable or not workable. Of course, one can’t really blame them because this has been their usual experiences growing up. Repeated negative feedbacks are often hard to ignore.

I wonder if you have observed the same in the folks you have seen or have gone through this experience yourself.
