57 分钟I don't think the self is static.
I don't think you find yourself.
You create your sense of self, which is an ongoing experience.
It's malleable, it's fluid.
It's constantly emerging from your experiences, from your interactions, from the things that you're learning.
And so if you go, this is who I am now, and then you live 15 years, and you didn't bother to create your sense of self, to evolve your sense of self, to start acting like this person here in this reality, and you're still acting like you're in college, because that was a.
When you were in college.
That's the problem.
So imagine waking up one day feeling like you've just lost your sense of identity, looking in the mirror, wondering, who am I really?
What happened to that person I used to be?
And who do I want to be?
And how do I want to show up in my life and be seen in ways that I'm not?
Well, my guest today, psychotherapist Sarah Kubrick, has gone deep into the experience that she calls profound self loss.
What's really happening and what we can do about it?

In her powerful new book, it's on me.
Accept hard truths, discover yourself, and change your life.
Sarah blends her personal story with insights from philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to offer wisdom and practical steps for anyone seeking to reconnect with their true self.
Born herself into war for nearly the first decade of her life, she later resettled as a refugee in Canada.
And Sarahs interest in psychology emerged from a childhood marked by complex relationships and a continual quest to understand humanity in all its messiness and absurdity.
