Understanding the “I Am” Trap
One of the most beautiful—and challenging—aspects of being in relationship is the way others act as mirrors. In their presence, we often catch glimpses of ourselves we hadn’t seen before. It might be the tone we use, a reaction we didn’t know we had, or a long-held assumption.
Other times, what surfaces is more subtle: a filter—a deeply ingrained lens through which the world is interpreted.
These filters form slowly. Shaped by early experiences and reinforced over time, they become nearly invisible. Like a pair of tinted glasses worn for years, their coloring becomes indistinguishable from reality.
They shape how we see the world—and ourselves within it. This is not a flaw in our nature. It’s human.
