Crisis identity refers to the sense of self that emerges in response to a crisis or traumatic event. It is a process through which individuals transform their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Crisis identity can be positive or negative and can lead to growth or dysfunction, depending on how individuals interpret and respond to the crisis. Some people may experience a deepening of their existing identities, while others may develop entirely new identities in response to a crisis. This concept is important in understanding how individuals cope with and make meaning out of traumatic experiences, and has implications for counseling and therapy.
