EP 67 - Trauma Is Not Your Identity

Trauma changes people. It changes how we trust, connect, protect ourselves, and sometimes even how we see God. But one of the greatest dangers of trauma is when it stops being something we experienced and becomes who we believe we are. In this episode, Wesley Farnsworth explores how trauma quietly moves from event to identity and why healing often begins by separating ourselves from the wounds we've carried for years. • How trauma shapes identity over time • Why survival strategies become emotional prisons • The difference between honoring pain and living inside it • How trauma affects faith and relationships • A practical exercise for beginning the healing process Connect with Wesley: Website: https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com [https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf [https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf] X: https://x.com/Unmasked_WF [https://x.com/Unmasked_WF] TikTok: http://tiktok.com/unmasked.with.wf.podcast [http://tiktok.com/unmasked.with.wf.podcast] Want to be a guest on UNMASKED with Wesley Farnsworth?

One of the quickest ways to get hurt is expecting people to carry weight they were never designed to carry.
