CHAPTER

Trauma, Identity, and Health: A Holistic Perspective

This chapter examines the intricate interplay between childhood trauma, personal identity, and health outcomes, critiquing conventional medical models that prioritize symptom management over understanding deeper causes. It explores how emotional well-being intersects with chronic physical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, and challenges the simplification of mental health issues to mere biological parameters. The discussion advocates for a more holistic understanding of health that acknowledges the complexity of individual experiences and the impact of societal expectations on well-being.
