In this episode, Monica explores how identity forms neurobiologically and why so many people struggle to answer the question "who am I?" She breaks down how mirror neurons reflect identity back to us through relationships — and what happens when that reflection is distorted by wounded caregivers. The conversation covers the three types of bonds that shape identity — the two-person bond, the group bond, and the spiritual bond — and why community is actually more powerful than any individual relationship when it comes to knowing who we are. Monica also addresses the 180 principle, imposter syndrome, and how therapists can help clients access accurate identity through belonging.
