Who Are You and What Do You Want?
When clients come to me, some of the first questions I ask them are about who they are (their identity) and what they want (purpose). Often, they don’t know the answer to either of these questions.
Recently I worked with a woman who is married with 5 adult children. Three of her children had left the church. She was stuck because she couldn’t separate herself from her family.
Her value was all invested in her ability to raise “righteous” children. When some of her kids left the church, she felt like it was her fault and wondered if she had failed at her most important job. She felt depressed and anxious when we talked about her children. “What more could I have done?” she asked.
We talked about who she is, her roles, her dreams, what she hopes for her life, and her hopes for her family. She started being able to separate her identity from her children’s actions.
She created some I AM Statements that helped her stay focused on what SHE wanted in her life. Practicing her I AM beliefs helped her to start recognizing who she is and what she wants.
At our last meeting she was looking forward to doing some things she wanted to do her whole life – but never found time to pursue them . She was also having conversations with her kids and relating to them as individuals. Not as those who were following the gospel path and those who weren’t. She felt relieved of the burden she had been carrying – to raise “perfect” kids.
