What is identity? When we talk about identity, we often talk about four things we think are really important: ➡️ We all have multiple identities. Although we often describe ourselves in terms of the work that we do, it’s important to remember that we are more than just our work. We are parents, children, siblings, sports lovers, volunteers, etc. ➡️ We are changing all the time. Right before my stroke, I was not the same person I was five years before. My stroke changed me faster, but I was changing anyway. ➡️ Identity is a social construct. We are who we are in the context of relationships. My relationships are instrumental to who I am, and were instrumental in re-building my life. ➡️ Identity is a choice. Instead of asking “who am I now?” I had to ask myself “who do I want to be now?” #StrokeOnward #strokeawareness #strokerecovery #strokesurvivors #strokesurvivor #speechtherapy #aphasia #brucewillis #aphasia #aphasiaawareness #aphasiatherapy #aphasiarecovery #aphasiaaccess #apha...
