People have identity issues — sometimes called an identity crisis — when they are uncertain about things the “define” them. It can involve any facet of a person’s life, including their career choice, relationships, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, moral values, and more.
Signs of Identity Issues
Identity issues can lead to other emotional and mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. It’s important to recognize identity issues early, so you can deal with them in a healthy way. Some signs include:
- confusion about parts of your personal identity;
- feeling a lack of belonging among friends or family;
- feeling a sense of hopelessness about the future;
- discontentment about career choices;
- discontentment about interpersonal relationships; and
- increased apathy about school, work, or life in general.
It’s common for people to experience an identity crisis during major life changes, such as starting or ending a romantic relationship, having a child, losing or starting a job, or moving to a new place. For teens, it often involves things like moving away from their parents and experiencing personal freedom.
At Dallas Whole Life Counseling, we treat identity issues in a variety of ways, depending on what issues and people are involved. Individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy are commonly used to help patients navigate issues related to identity. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a common treatment option.
