Something That Still Feels Like You
Something still feels like you, even when names, roles, and habits shift.

You notice it in familiar reactions, in the way you stand, in what still matters quietly.
This feeling does not argue against change.
It sits beside it, steady.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve changed so much lately; how do I know I’m still "me"?
This is "Identity Continuity." Even when your roles, energy, or beliefs drift, there is a core "Integrator" that remains. Recognizing "Something That Still Feels Like You" is a structural anchor. In the model, we look for the subtle, non-verbal sense of "I-ness" that persists regardless of external changes. Acknowledging this continuity reduces the Threat of "losing oneself" during recovery.
Is it normal for "me" to feel different in this new phase?
Yes. You aren't losing your identity; you are losing the performative version of yourself. As the Status & Control system settles, the "you" that remains may feel quieter or less driven, but it is actually more authentic. This isn't a loss; it’s a "coherence update." You are finally meeting the version of yourself that exists without the constant pressure to be someone else.
