IdentiNova Built Not Broken
By Alfred Brissette Jr.
You are not broken. You were built, out of things you never chose. And anything that was built can be built again.
For years, Alfred Brissette Jr. believed lasting change was something that happened to other people. Then he rebuilt his life from the kind of wreckage that usually keeps a person down for good. He did it not by accident, but on purpose, one identity at a time.
IdentiNova: Built, Not Broken is the reading companion to The IdentiNova Framework workbook, and the clearest account yet of how identity actually comes apart and gets rebuilt. It is the story and the reasoning behind the method: how an identity is quietly assembled by everything that shaped you, how it falls away, and how a new one gets built deliberately, across eight phases (Imprint, Deconstruct, Expose, Nullify, Transcend, Install, Test, and Yield).
This is not a book of affirmations, and it does not promise a miracle. It offers something steadier: a real path, walked first by the author and explained in plain language, grounded in lived experience and years of work as a Certified Peer Specialist and Recovery Coach.
If you have ever changed for a while and watched it slip, if you have done the work and still felt the old self waiting to return, this book was written from the far side of that struggle, and it was written for you.
IdentiNova Framework
By Alfred Brissette Jr.
Rebuilding who you are shouldn't be left to willpower and good intentions. The IdentiNova Framework turns it into something you can actually do, step by deliberate step.
This premium guided workbook walks you through all eight phases of the IDENTITY model, from Imprint to Yield, with prompts, exercises, coaching conversations, and room to write your way through each one. It is built to be used, not just read.
Wherever you are starting from, the work is the same: see what shaped you, question what no longer serves you, and build, on purpose, the person you actually choose to be. Each phase moves you from awareness to action, with space to reflect, respond, and track what changes.
Created by Alfred Brissette, a Certified Peer Specialist and Certified Recovery Coach and the originator of the IdentiNova framework, this workbook grew out of lived experience and years of practice helping people rebuild identity after it has come apart. It is rigorous enough for practitioners and clear enough to use on your own.
Pair it with the companion book, IdentiNova: Built, Not Broken, for the full story and reasoning behind the framework, or start here and begin the work today. Your identity was built once. This is how you build it again, on purpose.
