What people call an identity crisis is often misunderstood.

It isn’t always confusion or loss of direction. More often, it’s the moment when the narrative you rely on to explain who you are stops aligning with what your system can actually sustain. Drawing from Spinoza’s philosophy, predictive processing neuroscience, and structural psychology, this episode explores why identity panic emerges when the brain updates its self-model in response to changes in power and capacity.

This isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about seeing that identity is an interpretation, not the source of control.

If you’ve ever felt subtly “off” without knowing why, this perspective may feel uncomfortably accurate.
