Gender Identity Exploration
What is gender identity exploration?
Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both, or neither. It is how individuals perceive themselves, how they call themselves, and may or may not correspond to sex assigned at birth. Because people have all sorts of different thoughts and feelings about their genders, exploration can be important in fully understanding one’s self.
How can therapy help?
Identity development is at the core of therapy in many ways. Understanding and developing your true self allows you to walk through the world in a more genuine way. This is the ultimate form of freedom. The process of understanding one’s identity can include exploring sexuality, gender, race, marital status, religion, and many others.
