“Beyond the Wound: From Trauma Identity to Psychospiritual Growth” | ASQPODCAST E120

In this episode of the ASQ Podcast, today we explore a cultural shift that’s left many stuck: the transformation of trauma into identity. As more people seek healing, some have inadvertently made pain a permanent home, rather than a passage to their deeper purpose.

We ask:

• What happens when we begin to wear our trauma like a name tag?
  
  
• How has social media therapy culture normalized staying in the wound?
  
  
• And more importantly, how do we move beyond the trauma to discover who we’re becoming?
  
  

We’re not here to minimize pain, we honor it. But we also believe that trauma, when properly integrated, can become a sacred portal to wisdom, compassion, and radical self-leadership.

Drawing from archetypes, psychology, and lived experience, this episode is a powerful reminder: you are not what happened to you. You are what you create from it.
