Have you ever felt - different-, not enough, or as if you were missing parts of yourself? Or, have you ever declared yourself as not something or 100% something else? Eg. “I’m not musical” or “I’m an anxious person.” Today’s episode talks with Devin Brooks an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist and Music Therapist on the themes of trauma, identify and the missing parts of ourselves. We touch on queerness, hair loss and the depth of who we are. 

Today, we’re discussing: 

• How traima alters the course of identity development. 
• Addressing feelings of I am not good enough, I am not lovable, I am bad.
• When it feels like you are missing parts of yourself. Not recognising yourself. Being unable to remember parts of your childhood.
• How being yourself is unsafe for many in the queer community.
