05 Episode - Childhood PTSD And A Damaged Sense of Identity

The Robert Gene Experience

If you’ve ever felt the need to morph into the person your parents wanted—constantly adapting your behavior to match their moods and expectations—you’re not alone. Many adults grapple with a complicated relationship with their parents, feeling torn between love and hate. This struggle often results in a disconnection from your true interests and identity, leaving you feeling trapped in roles that prioritize others’ happiness over your own. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, we delve into the complexities of Childhood PTSD and its impact on your sense of identity. If you’ve faced emotional neglect or manipulation, you may find yourself battling low self-worth and confusion about who you are and what you genuinely desire. Childhood PTSD can cloud your perception of yourself and the world around you, making it challenging to establish a solid sense of self. Additionally, we discuss the malleable nature of the brain and how recognizing this flexibility opens doors for transformation and healing. The understanding that our emotional training and identities are not fixed empowers us to reinvent ourselves. Joining your host Robert Gene is co-host Crystal Derksen for a meaningful exploration of the topic.
