Meaning and purpose
You can meet every expectation that was set for you and still feel like you are living someone else's answer.
This page is a working draft. It has not yet been reviewed and approved by our clinical team, and it is not indexed by search engines until it is.
What this is about
This often arrives quietly and at a point that looks like success from outside. The degree, the job, the marriage, the visa: the list was completed and the feeling did not follow. Underneath there is usually a question about whose life this was designed to be, and how much of it you chose.
What work here looks like
The work is less about finding a purpose and more about getting clear on what you actually value, then looking honestly at the distance between that and how the week is spent. It tends to be practical rather than lofty.
