People may occasionally over-identify with a specific aspect of their life experiences, such as a distorted body image (“nobody likes me because I’m fat”, “I’m single because I’m bold”, and so on).

This in and of itself is problematic, but these people may develop an unhealthy obsession with even more severely limited aspects of themselves.

For example, they may identify with patterns of behavior or thought that result in the emergence of a victimized, dependent, or otherwise dysfunctional self. That is when they are most likely to seek the assistance of a professional, such as yourself.

This procedure is intended to assist a person in developing self-awareness and the ability to sequentially focus their attention on each of their major personality traits, roles, and so on.

They are then acutely aware of and capable of examining these characteristics while maintaining the observer’s perspective and acknowledging that the observer is not the observed.
