How has your identity changed after stroke? 

Deb shares her perspective on identity after stroke. 
❓Question to Deb: When writing Identity Theft, what was your working definition of “identity”? 
A: While writing the book, we actually had trouble finding a single definition for “identity” that we really liked. There are dozens, if not hundreds out there in the literature. We settled on one used by psychologist David Gergen: “one’s identity is continuously emergent, re-formed, and redirected as one moves through the sea of ever-changing relationships. In the case of ‘Who am I?’ it is a teeming world of provisional possibilities.”
