Connections: Culture and Identity

We are always growing in our understanding of who we are.

What components of our lives play into our understanding of ourselves?

Who helps us and who do we need to reach out to for more help in order to better understand our identity?

In this month’s episode of Mental Health Monday on the Heidi Goehmann Writes YouTube Channel, we’re talking specifically about the connections between the culture all around us and the development of our identity.

Special guest, Dr. Kim Marxhausen helps us to understand the impact of the culture around us on our identity development and how we help the adolescents and teens around us develop in their understanding of their own identity. Kim and I discuss the tension between our identity of Me and our identity in the We places of our lives - family, church, friendships, and, other communities.
