For me, I find myself doing it often. It is so easy to let our identities become lost in what we do. Or, how busy we are as opposed to finding the root of our identity in who we are. What does it even mean to figure out who we are, and why does it matter? Well, what happens when there is a sudden change in our circumstances that can cause our sense of self to waver? That is when it matters most to be grounded in our values and inherent traits that God created in us individually. We are assuredly going to go through some major changes in this life.

What is a helping professional? In this context, it can mean any person who works in a field that helps others! Broad definition, I know. Helping professionals can include first responders, teachers, nurses, doctors, and those in ministry, to name a few. As a helping professional, we often feel that we can get through life on our own. We have the tools, we have access to all of the information, so why would we need additional help or support? As a helping professional myself, I am here to debunk that myth.
