Psychologist James Maszia suggests that we all have to go through these four stages of finally coming to our identity. These stages are foreclosure, diffusion, moratorium and achievement. An identity crisis might occur for individuals when we begin to grow disorientated with this established way of life due to some reason or some large shift like you graduate. This pushes us into the next stage of an identity crisis and ultimately the formation of a new identity.
What does identity really mean? And how do we know when we’ve found it, can we ever truly embody our ‘true selves’? In this episode we discuss what it means to undergo massive shifts in our identity and come out of it the other side and how we might assist that journey.
