Today we are talking about individuation. The process and management of being our true and authentic self. When we spend time with ourselves and learn our own needs, we are able to become autonomous and gain a deep understanding of how we can truly thrive. Through listening to and nurturing our genuine self, we can function with ease in our relationships with the outside world. Individuation starts in our childhood and continues and shifts throughout our adult life. Even if we did not start out with a strong sense of self and ability to have autonomy in our relationships, we can grow into ourselves at anytime in our life, opening the door for respect and truth within ourselves and in our relation to others.
