How Complex Trauma Affects Self-Worth & Identity (Day 5)

Welcome to Healing the Hungry Ghost! 🪷 I’m Summer, a trauma therapist exploring the roots of stress, disconnection, and emotional suffering — and what it truly means to heal. If you often blame others—or turning that blame onto yourself—you’re not alone. This is a common trauma response, especially with Complex PTSD. Searching for someone to blame or a reason for what happened to us is a way we try to regain control over our lives again. But when self-blame takes hold, it slowly erodes our self-trust, leading to feelings of worthlessness and self-hate. In this video, we explore how self-blame and low self-worth often begins as a protective coping strategy, not a personal failure. Healing starts with understanding the hurt your mind and body were trying to protect you from.
