Being the 'real you' can be difficult, especially if it means upsetting your family. Folake from Benin tries to be a 鈥榞ood girl鈥� and avoids taking decisions her family would not approve of, but she wants to learn to be her true self. She speaks with Dr Shefali, an Indian-born clinical psychologist 鈥� now based in New York - who asks her to question whose voice she is listening to, her own or that of others. Dr Shefali is the author of 鈥楢 Radical Awakening鈥�, which aims to lay out a path for women to discover their inner truth. Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards Photo: Dr Shefali
