Identity Matrix

Identity Matrix Worksheet

Who are you beyond your job, relationships and responsibilities?

The Identity Matrix is a practical self-reflection worksheet designed to help people explore the many different facets of their identity. From favourite foods, books and hobbies through to personality, values, passions, purpose and contribution, this worksheet helps create a clearer picture of who you are and who you want to become.

This resource is particularly useful for people who feel they have lost their sense of self following major life transitions, trauma, retirement, parenthood, career changes or mental health challenges. It is also commonly used in therapy with individuals experiencing identity disturbance associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), complex trauma and PTSD.

Whether you are reconnecting with forgotten parts of yourself or exploring new possibilities for the future, the Identity Matrix can help you build a stronger, more grounded sense of self.
