What if much of what we call personality is actually protection?

This plain language edition of When Protection Becomes Identity keeps the full heart of the original book while making its ideas clearer, more direct, and easier to enter.

Andrew Jewell explores how pain can shape the way we think, love, cope, and survive. He shows how survival patterns can start to feel like identity, and how healing can become a return to the self beneath them.

Moving through trauma, shame, attachment, addiction, healing, spirituality, and consciousness, this book asks a simple but life-changing question:

Who are you beneath what you had to become in order to survive?

This is not only a book about wounding.

It is a book about return.

Hurting Memories and Beneficial Forgetting: Posttraumatic Stress Disorders, Biographical Development
<p>Memories are indispensable for individuals as well as social groups. Forgetting not only means loss of functioning but also loss of identity. Memories can also be hurting and cause problems, as research on posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) has shown. This is true for individuals as well as social groups and even societies. Memories and especially negative memories can escape the control of the individual. Many political conflicts can only be understood when taking history and memories into account.</p> <p>In this volume a comprehensive scientific overview is given on the development of "hurting memories" in individuals and societies. Consequences are described, i.e. from mental disorders in individuals, like PTSD or other neurotic disorders, to societal tensions and conflicts, from South Africa to Northern Europe. Additionally, "beneficial forgetting" is discussed, from treatments of individuals to reconciliation between social groups. The contrasting of "hurting memories and beneficial forgetting" can help to understand, that memories can have positive and negative results and that it is difficult to decide when to support memories and when forgetting.</p>
