Welcome back to CPTSD: Let’s Make Sense of This Shit. In today’s episode, Gregory takes us on a deep dive into one of the most personal and transformative parts of trauma recovery: Reclaiming Your Identity After Trauma.Trauma can leave us feeling like strangers to ourselves, with shattered pieces of who we once were scattered across our lives. But here’s the truth: your core identity—the real you—has never left. It’s still there, waiting to be rediscovered and reassembled into something strong, whole, and uniquely yours.In this episode, we’ll explore:
  • Why trauma fractures our sense of identity and how survival mode impacts us.
  • Practical steps like identity mapping, joy lists, and value clarification exercises to reconnect with who you are.
  • How safety, self-compassion, and small goals play a vital role in healing.
  • Real-life stories from listeners who’ve reclaimed their sense of self, one step at a time.
