Achieving identity change is a prolonged process that requires patience and commitment. Recognizing that transformation can take time, potentially even years, helps maintain motivation during challenging times. The evolution involves not just behavioral adjustments but also emotional challenges, including excitement, tension, stress, and the risk of relapse. A significant aspect of this journey is the grief experienced as one releases their former self, signifying the end of a previous identity. This aspect of mourning is akin to losing a friend and serves as a necessary part of the transition into a new version of oneself.
