Adult Adoptees: Identity & Healing
Adult Adoptees: Identity & Healing
Blisss healing is a place for adult adoptees exploring identity, belonging, and grief. As an adoptee myself, I understand the nuanced emotions this journey holds. We’ll explore your story in a safe, validating space.
One of my core specialisations is working with adults who were adopted and are navigating the complex emotional experiences that can emerge later in life — often around identity, belonging, grief, or unresolved questions from the past.
It’s a lifelong experience that can resurface in unexpected ways, especially during major life transitions such as becoming a parent, losing a loved one, facing illness, or simply reflecting more deeply on your own story.
As someone who is adopted myself, you don’t have to explain everything here. I’ve lived it, and I understand the layers that often go unspoken. Adoption does not end in childhood, it is a lifelong experience that can resurface in unexpected ways. At blisss healing there is space for your adoption story.
Common themes I support clients through include:
- Identity confusion or fragmentation
- Grief over unknown or lost birth connections
- Feelings of disconnection or “not fully belonging”
- Complex loyalty dynamics between adoptive and birth families
- Anger, abandonment wounds, or emotional numbness
- Reclaiming a personal narrative and sense of wholeness
