Who Am I? Rebuilding Identity After Trauma

---

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know who I am anymore,” or felt like you’ve spent your life being who others needed you to be, you’re not alone.

Complex trauma doesn’t just wound emotions—it reshapes identity itself. It teaches you that love must be earned, authenticity is dangerous, and your value depends on performance. Over time, you lose connection with the person you were meant to be.

This course is about finding your way back. You’ll explore how shame distorts self-perception, how survival roles and masks form, and how compassion and truth help restore your authentic self. Each lesson includes teaching from Tim Fletcher, reflection prompts, and guided exercises to help you move gently from understanding to healing to reconnection.

Rebuilding identity isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you are underneath the fear and performance. Your true self was never destroyed, only hidden.

  Identity healing is not about becoming someone new—it’s about welcoming all that you already are.

  When worth has been tied to performance or approval, rest and authenticity feel unsafe. This closing lesson helps you move from earning love to living as someone who knows they already have it.
