The Stories Pain Tells Us

What happens when the way people see you becomes the way you see yourself? In Episode 2 of Built From the Break, Joshua Dixon explores the stories pain can teach us to believe about ourselves—and how those beliefs can quietly become part of our identity. Through experiences of returning to the world after his childhood trauma, being treated differently, and eventually internalizing the labels placed on him, Joshua introduces the second step of the Built From the Break framework: Name It. Because there is a difference between what happened to you and what you started believing about yourself because of it. Before you can challenge the story, you have to recognize that you're telling it. What has pain taught you to believe about yourself? 🎙️ New episodes every Thursday. Face It. Name It. Reframe It.
