Reclaiming who you are beyond the diagnosis
Summary:
A diagnosis doesn’t just affect your body, it alters how you see yourself. In this episode, Patrick, Fama, and Conrad explore how identity fractures in the face of illness, and how healing begins not with treatment, but with recognition.
From being labeled a “case” to reclaiming the right to say, “I have a name,” this conversation brings to life the powerful inner work beneath Chapter 4 of The Trinity of You.
In This Episode:
🔹 The quiet collapse of identity after diagnosis
🔹 What happens when you’re reduced to a condition
🔹 The moment you realize you’ve disappeared behind a label
🔹 How healing begins by restoring the self
🔹 Why language and naming are critical to recovery
🔹 The difference between treatment and transformation
Key Quotes:
“When the nurse said, ‘You’re the prostate cancer case,’ I nodded. But inside, I screamed: I have a name.”
“You can’t heal what you’ve forgotten how to be.”
“The work of healing begins with the work of remembering.”
