À propos de cet audio
Why does personal growth sometimes feel like a quiet loss? Ever look back at an old photo and feel a strange mix of nostalgia and sadness for the person you once were? You're evolving, becoming stronger, wiser, but there's still a strange ache for the person you used to be. In today's episode, we explore the psychology behind this often-unspoken phenomenon of grieving our past selves.
Things we discuss:
- What it means to grieve a former 'you’
- The role of disenfranchised grief
- The ‘nostalgia trap’
- Our evolving sense of self and the fluidity of identity
- Why we romanticise the past
- How we can integrate past versions of ourselves and embracing growth
If you've ever felt that subtle pang for a past version of yourself, this episode is for you!
