persona

Definition:

The persona is the social mask or role that an individual adopts to interact with the world, shaped by societal expectations and personal adaptation. While necessary for functioning, overidentification with the persona can obscure the true self.

Example:

Exploring the persona helps clients differentiate their authentic self from the roles they play, fostering greater self-awareness. For instance, a client overly invested in a “perfect professional” image might reconnect with neglected personal desires.
