{1.1c2} liminal identity
topics:
[[identity]],[[liminality]]
If there is a “you” before trauma, and a “you” after trauma, what happens when you experience multiple traumas?
The “after” identity recognizes herself as the After.
The “before” doesn’t know she’s the Before.
The intermediate identity doesn’t realize she is both.
This identity lives in a liminal space, both when you're in it, and once you're past it.

Although I originally thought about this as it relates to trauma, I figure this is probably true for most lifechanging events.
Need to think more on this.

Not quite the same thing, but think this relates to
{1.1c2a} shock disrupts the continuity of one's identity and their understanding of their inner and outer worlds
.
There is also liminal identity in that gap.
shock is the gap that opens up between event and existing narratives
