Remember that episode of The Gilmore Girls where Lorelai is having and identity crisis over whether or not she *actually* likes Pop-Tarts?

🌿Discovering and rediscovering who you are and how you want to show up in life is at the very core of what it is to be human.

🧠In adolescence, emerging adulthood, transitioning to parenthood, transitioning to midlife, and other developmental windows are examples of times when individuation and integration cycle through- with self identity shifts a being a natural byproduct.

This process can also occur during other life transitions, such as:
- Relocation/ Moving
- Ending a Relationship
- Shifting Out of Religion
- Ending a Job or Changing Careers
- Death of a Loved One

💕 Sometimes this process can scare us. Do I even know who I am or what I want? While this process can be uncomfortable, it is a a necessary one if we want to walk paths that are truly ours.

👉 The difference between these two MATTERS. Swipe to get a feel of the difference between Emotional Responsiveness and taking Emotional Responsibility@for someone else, and note the differences in various relationships in your life. Relational safety, a sense of mutual respect and care, feeling mostly vital and well (vs. feeling drained by the person), and open, two-way communication and boundaries are also good markers in knowing the difference.
