You’re Doing It: Stages of Becoming

By Britta Larsen

Book Launch | 2027

You’re Doing It: Stages of Becoming weaves memoir with therapeutic insight to explore how we grow, heal, and become the people and leaders we are.

What forces (family, school, friendship, love, work, identity, trauma, grief and loss) shape our development and sense of self? Drawing on Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, I reflect on my first 50 years and my ongoing quest to understand my habits, experiences with abuse and addiction, coping and defense mechanisms, relationships, leadership, and sense of purpose.

I tell my story in the hope that it helps you better understand your own.

Explore the eight stages—and consider how they shaped who you’ve become.
