Find Your Bearings…
What happens when the life you built no longer matches the map you were given?
Whether it’s a shift in your nervous system, a transition in your faith, or the quiet realization that your old rules have become a cage, disorientation is often the first step toward a truer identity.
In A Crisis of Maps, I explore how we navigate these intersections. By looking at the biology of belief and the language of discernment, we can begin to find steady ground—not by returning to the old ways, but by learning to read the new landscape with clarity and courage.

From the Back Cover:
What happens when the life you built no longer matches the map you were given? When the beliefs that once made sense leave you disoriented, anxious, or unsure of who you are becoming?
For many, the moment faith stops making sense feels like a total nervous system collapse. It is the disorientation of realizing that the rules and certainties that once provided safety have become a cage. You are experiencing a crisis of maps.
Written with the clarity of a therapist and the honesty of a fellow traveler, A Crisis of Maps is a companion for that unraveling. Drawing on twenty years of clinical experience, Dr. Cary Brown explores:
• The Biology of Belief: Why your brain treats a shift in faith as a threat to your survival—and how to calm the alarm.
• The Language of Discernment: How to distinguish between the static of internalized shame and the quiet voice of love.
• The Path to Freedom: A way to dismantle fear-based theology while protecting your connection to the Divine.
If your understanding of God, truth, or yourself is shifting, you don't need quick answers. You need a better map. This book offers the language and compassion required to find footing on steady ground while everything else feels upside down.
