Book excerpt: We Cannot Truly Connect With Others If We Continue to Hide Our True SelvesThe purpose of this workbook is to help guide you through your self-discovery journey. It was designed to heighten your awareness of self as you aim to be more authentic and embrace all of you. The goal is to learn more about who you are and accept yourself fully, the good and the not so good. The amazing experiences and the terrible ones. With an increased sense of who you are, you are better positioned for growth and self-development. You are better able to choose the parts of you that you love and work on improving the parts of you that hinder your purpose. Many of us grew accustomed to hiding certain aspects of our being. Some of us, have grown accustomed to suppressing our thoughts and true emotions. Hiding our true selves becomes normal. We cannot truly connect with others if we continue to hide. But I get it, our past experiences with family members, friends, and leaders in our society may have taught us that suppressing our emotions prevents unnecessary drama and conflict. We subconsciously view conflict as a bad thing; a thing we will do anything to avoid. However that's the perfect recipe for hopelessness. As you go through this workbook, I encourage you to open your mind to the opportunities you can derive from conflict. You'll learn that changing your thinking could change your life.Dr. Crystal Benjamin is a couples therapist and life coach based in Trinidad and Tobago.
