Episode 99: Finding Peace After Identity Level Trauma | Judy Ben-Asher
What is Identity Level Trauma and why is it so devastating?
Identity Level Trauma is a term coined by today’s guest, Judy Ben-Asher, to describe the experience of discovering unexpected things about one’s identity through DNA tests. For some people, learning about their DNA and ancestry is fun. But for others, it’s something that’s shocking, disorienting, and traumatic.
