Stop Performing Brokenness: Authentic Healing Over Trauma Branding | The Reckoning Part 2
Manage episode 503544822 series 3464669
What if you were never broken? Dan Boyd reveals how our culture turns pain into performance and trauma into personal branding. This episode isn’t about minimizing your wounds; it’s about questioning why we stay on stage after the curtain has fallen. Learn to differentiate between genuine healing and the social theatre of vulnerability, and reclaim your life beyond your story.
Episode highlights:
- Why shutdowns and panic responses were adaptive, not signs of brokenness.
- How “being broken” becomes a community identity.
- The cost of letting go of your pain narrative and living without applause.
