When You No Longer Recognize Yourself After Trauma
from Pain Repurposed Hosted by Amanda Rector
There’s a moment after trauma where you look at your life, your reactions, even your reflection and think, Who am I now? In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to lose touch with the version of yourself you used to know and the grief that comes with that. We explore why this disconnection happens, how survival changes us, and why not recognizing yourself doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you adapted. This episode is for anyone who feels quieter, guarded, or different after what they’ve been through and is learning how to reconnect without rushing the process. You’re not lost. You’re in transition. And this part of the journey matters. You’re not broken. You’re becoming. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, therapist, or medical professional.
