I feel that whenever my old identity becomes dominant, a new identity automatically gets created to escape or suppress it. So, the new identity may actually be another form of the old one, rather than true freedom from it.

Achhita, you've named the mechanism precisely, the old identity never actually leaves, it just changes clothes and calls itself the escape. So the real test isn't whether a new identity shows up, something will always show up. The test is whether you're willing to ask of this new one too, what is it running from, the moment it starts feeling solid. What would it take to catch that one while it's still forming, rather than after it's already hardened into the next thing to defend? And a reminder, your enrollment for next month is still pending.
