119 - Identity Loss and Post Traumatic Growth




Power Through the 4th Whistle Roller Derby Podcast show

Summary: <p>This week, I want to talk about Identity Loss after Trauma and Post Traumatic Growth. I think this is a very relatable topic because even though I came to it through concussion recovery, I feel like these ideas are sooo applicable to so many situations in life so I think I can reach every one of you out there with this one and I love it when an episode can touch everyone. Trauma could be a concussion (It's called traumatic brain injury!), any type of injury, maybe being diagnosed with a chronic illness, a traumatic incident in your life or even a world-wide pandemic perhaps. This has been a traumatic experience for many around the world and I’d argue we all have a bit of trauma to one degree or another from living through these times. Any incident in your life that makes you see the world as "Before" and "After" leaves you at a crossroads figuring out who you are and who you can be going forward as a better athlete, teammate, leader, and human being. <br> <br> Power Through the 4th Whistle will be taking an off season until January 2021.
