Therapy has changed me or has it just made me who I should have been

I’ve had a rough few years and I’ve been seeing a therapist for people pleasing and self confidence.

It’s been 6 months and I feel a completely different person having worked through many many issues and I feel my friendship group is no longer serving me (having had so many years of my personality serving them) and as much as I love them dearly I am really feeling the need to distance myself. Same with my mother who’s been physically and emotionally abusive my entire childhood.

I am not planning to cut contact but I am ready to put myself and my family first and not spend as much time helping them all with issues (bar one friend who it is fully reciprocated with).

Has anyone else’s personality completely changed after therapy- I am feeling very guilty but also very content

Your personality hasn't changed, but your self image and confidence has. This is a fantastic thing. You don't need to feel guilty about cutting out those who treat you badly, they don't have the same courtesy towards you.
