Ideothetic Flow Hi! My life has very recently taken a huge turn into parenthood with the birth of my baby girl last week – meet Joy: Besides all the usual concerns of being a parent, the one that I find hardest to talk to others about is the fear that I will lose my sense of self. I worry that I will no longer be able to do the things which I identify with, and eventually they will fade away from me. I acknowledge that some sacrifice and compromise is unavoidable as a parent, and I am ready to make sacrifices, but I do also want to do it in a balanced manner. I find this hard to share because rather than getting good suggestions on how to achieve a balance (), I feel that the most likely response I will get is that I am not simply doing enough.
