Post-Traumatic Growth and Identity: Who Am I After What Happened? explores how trauma can reshape identity, relationships, values, boundaries, and a person’s sense of the future. The article discusses grieving the person you were before, recognizing survival roles, finding your voice after powerlessness, and discovering new strengths without romanticizing trauma.
