IdentiShift; Built Not Broken, Rebuilding Who You Are

You are not broken. You were built - out of things you never chose. And anything that was built can be built again.For years, Alfred Brissette Jr. believed lasting change was something that happened to other people. Then he rebuilt his life from the kind of wreckage that usually keeps a person down for good - not by accident, but on purpose, one identity at a time.IdentiShift: Built, Not Broken is the reading companion to the IdentiShift Workbook, and the clearest account yet of how the IdentiShift framework actually works. It's the story and the reasoning behind the method: how an identity is quietly assembled by everything that shaped you, how it comes apart, and how a new one gets built deliberately, across eight phases - Imprint, Deconstruct, Expose, Nullify, Transcend, Install, Test, and Yield.This is not a book of affirmations, and it does not promise a miracle. It offers something steadier: a real path, walked first by the author and explained in plain language, grounded in lived experience and years of work as a Certified Peer Specialist and Recovery Coach.If you've ever changed for a while and watched it slip - if you've done the work and still felt the old self waiting to return - this book was written from the far side of that struggle, and it was written for you. Read it alongside the workbook or on its own, and it will change how you understand the person you've been, and the one you're still becoming.
