Importance of unpacking our role?

Sources:

Unpacking our role involves deep self-inquiry to distinguish between the roles we play and our true identity. Jim Dethmer emphasizes that roles such as career, identity, and social status are not the entirety of who we are. As we move through different life stages, it's important to disidentify with these roles to avoid destabilization. This process fosters a profound understanding of our true self, reducing vulnerability and maintaining stability even as external circumstances change. Engaging in practices that promote self-awareness can help us stabilize and grasp the essence of our true identity 1.
