No one prepares you for losing the version of yourself that loss, trauma, and major life changes took. This book helps you discover who you are when life rewrites your identity.
The Identity Reset: A Guide to Discovering Yourself After Loss, Change, and Survival is a lifeline for those navigating the difficult in-between-when your past self no longer fits, and the future feels uncertain and unrecognizable.
For some, identity loss begins with what was taken. For others, it starts with what was never given: stability, affirmation, belonging, or the safety that trauma disrupted. And when the people, roles, or routines that shaped your life have died, it changes you. Author Ashley Olivia Nelson, a loss and trauma survivor, shows that discovering who you are isn't about "moving on"-it's about moving differently, without shame, pressure, or the need to perform.
This book helps you name what's missing, understand how you've changed, and gently mend who you are-without minimizing what happened to you. As an identity and grief specialist, Ashley Olivia Nelson offers:
Finding the words for the invisible losses that shaped you
Granting yourself permission to grieve and explore who you are now
Steps to ease overwhelm and build emotional capacity
Choosing relationships that truly accept you
You'll walk away with more than validation-you'll leave with direction. Whether you're grieving who you were or who you never got to be, The Identity Reset offers soul-tending reflection and clear, heartfelt insight.
