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.

Whether you’re rediscovering the little things that bring you joy or rebuilding your life’s foundation, this episode is your guide to moving forward with hope, resilience, and purpose.Support Our WorkIf this podcast has helped you, consider joining our Supporters Club.
