Ep. 3: Who Am I? Part 1
05/16/22 • 27 min
From the beginning of time humans have been on the journey of answering the question Who Am I? As we reflect on mental wellness and self-growth we often hear the word authenticity. How does one become authentic? There is no "right way" to become authentically YOU. Who you are is a dynamic process that unfolds over a lifetime. When we view our life as a story we naturally start with our growth and development from infancy onward. Join MJ as she encourages you to look at this question using the lens of Dr. Erik Erikson Ph.D and his psychosocial model of growth. Using the tools of self-observation, insight and reflection we look back in order to move forward with more clarity, understanding and compassion which leads to authenticity. In this two-part podcast MJ will look at the first 12 years of life. As you listen, you will naturally find yourself remembering these years and how they influence your answer to the question, Who Am I?
