Trauma can have a dramatic impact on our personal development leading to us developing a trauma based identity, where the painful things we’ve gone through become who we are and how
we live. Identity for adults with unresolved developmental trauma is often organized around being a victim or survivor and maintaining basic safety in relation to others, leading to re-traumatizing and
disheartening repetitions, preventing growth-oriented experiences.
