I´ve read quite a lot about the "false" and "true" self and I think many people seeking therapy feel they have lost some part of themselves and they don´t feel having contact with themselves and their feelings.

The false self is often created at a young age and means you form a kind of self that´s created because you don´t get the opportunity to show your real self and your real feelings. It can be due to a lot of things, more or less traumatic.You hide your true self behind the false one and you end up feeling not connected, feeling lost and not knowing how you really are.

Has anyone in here worked on those issues in therapy? What kind of therapy was it? How did you talk around those issues and how did you get help finding more of your true self?
