What’s in a Label? Rediscovering who you are and what your values are

In our lives, we all acquire labels—whether it’s our job title, a medical diagnosis, a personality trait, or even just a nickname. Sometimes, these labels help us navigate the world or mark important achievements. Other times, they can feel limiting or even define us in ways that don’t capture our full story.

But just as Pluto didn’t stop being Pluto when astronomers changed its status from “planet” to “dwarf planet,” your core self is unchanged by the labels others give you. A label might reflect your expertise, an experience you’ve had, or a milestone you’ve achieved, but it doesn’t measure your worth.

As Shakespeare wrote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Your true essence—your strengths, kindness, wisdom, and unique spirit—remains, no matter what others call you or how circumstances change.

In my home-based hypnotherapy practice in Birchcliffe and The Beaches area of Toronto, I help people look beyond the labels they’ve carried and reconnect with their deeper value. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and supportive way to let go of limiting beliefs and rewrite your personal narrative. You can learn to appreciate the markers of your journey without letting them confine you.

If you’re ready to move beyond limiting labels and rediscover or claim your authentic self then start with those deep relationships, those pre-behavior, pre-thought perspectives that are holding you back or obscuring your vision. Whether you’re seeking growth, healing, or simply a fresh perspective, hypnotherapy can help you step into your own true worth.
