This is the third week on Identity.
1) Identity and Sexuality
2) Identity and Emotional Absue

And this week 3) Identity and Therapy.

Therapy can provide a significant means of building self identity.
It can help us restore, reclaim and rebuild who we are.
Illness, Eating Disorders, mental health difficulties, trauma, loss can all cause a person to literally crumble.
The point of therapy is to initially stabilise us, and then after this, to help us build and understand who we are without the illness.
Who we are as a person and how we interact with the world.
The things that make us *us* and the things we love.
Ultimately, I believe, such a process can lead to a full sense of self that is both confident and secure, within who they are and how they appear.
