Lesson Overview

7.07 – Identity Trauma: When Labels Hurt More Than Help: Sometimes the words people use to define you feel more like cages than descriptions. Being misjudged for your race, gender, or background can create invisible wounds. Over time, those experiences can cause anxiety, shame, or isolation. Healing starts when you separate who you truly are from the names others gave you. Identity trauma is real, and recognizing it allows you to rebuild confidence. Therapy, journaling, or supportive communities can help you reclaim your sense of self. You deserve to live without carrying others’ labels like heavy baggage. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means choosing freedom over pain. Each time you affirm your truth, you repair what was broken. You are not defined by the harm done to you but by how you rise beyond it.
