Inner & Outer Selves Role Play: Exploring the Parts We Show and Hide

How to Use This Worksheet

Clients can begin by filling out prompts about their Outer Self—the part they show to others—then switch roles and answer as their Inner Self. Use optional drawing exercises and perspective shifts, like changing one’s physical position, to deepen the experience. Conclude with a written dialogue between the two selves to explore where they agree, disagree, and how they can support each other.
