Transforming the Self
Our self-concept is continually shaped by the social and cultural contexts we inhabit. According to social constructionism, our notion of self is influenced by the specific time, place, and context of our lives. This perspective suggests that our identity isn’t fixed; instead, we can challenge and redefine our self-perceptions. Reflective writing is a powerful method for this exploration, allowing us to question our narratives and adopt new ways of thinking and being.
