How do you get to know yourself?

So my dh grew up in an abusive household and has a very complicated relationship with his parents. While on a logical level he understands he was abused, he doesnt seem to connect the dots fully and still looks to get validation from his dp.
As a result he has attached himself to most of the things his parents liked. He has started realising recently that he's not sure he actually likes this stuff himself (tv programmes, films etc)

So how does he go about finding out who he really is now in his 40s? I feel at a loss as to what to suggest. We have no money for him to try new hobbies etc and he is stuck in a cycle of going to work and watching shite tv before bed
