Feeling Lost in Your Own Mind? Here’s How to Begin Finding Yourself Again

Have you ever had the thought, “I just don’t know who I am anymore”? Or maybe you’ve caught yourself spiralling into overthinking — going over conversations, decisions, or worries on repeat, until you feel completely stuck. You're not alone.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by their minds. Their thoughts move fast, feel intense, and often seem impossible to switch off. The content of those thoughts is usually critical, self-doubting, or fear-driven — and while some part of them knows these thoughts aren’t always true, the emotional impact is very real.

The result? A deep disconnection from themselves. A sense of being lost, uncertain, and ungrounded. A longing to get back to something more true — but not knowing how.

The Spiral of Overthinking

Overthinking can feel like your mind is working overtime, constantly searching for answers, reassurance, or control. But instead of finding clarity, you often end up feeling more anxious, confused, and stuck in self-judgment.

Thoughts like:

• “What if I made the wrong decision?”

• “Why can’t I just be normal?”

• “I should be doing better than this.”

These patterns can wear away your confidence over time, leaving you unsure of what’s real, what you want, or even who you are.

Why This Happens

Often, overthinking and a lost sense of self go hand in hand. When we’ve spent years second-guessing ourselves, adapting to others, or living in survival mode, it becomes harder to access our inner voice. Instead of acting from our values, we act from fear, guilt, or uncertainty.

This disconnection is painful — but it’s also a signal that something deeper in you is ready to be seen, heard, and reclaimed.

Therapy as a Path Back to Yourself

The work I do with clients is about gently slowing down the chaos of the mind and beginning to listen — not just to the loudest, most anxious thoughts, but to the quieter voice underneath them. The part of you that’s been buried or ignored. The part of you that knows who you are.

Together, we:

• Bring awareness to the thought patterns that keep you stuck

• Challenge and reframe those thoughts with clarity and compassion

• Explore your core values — what truly matters to you beyond fear or expectation

• Reconnect with your sense of self, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with your life

• 
  

You’re Not Broken — You’re Becoming

Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you're in the process of re-finding yourself.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — because you’re not broken. It’s about gently peeling back the layers of doubt, fear, and conditioning so you can rediscover the self that’s always been there. One that is whole, worthy, and resilient.
