Welcome to Episode 3 of the Trauma Cycle Podcast! In this episode, Derek North is joined once again by his best friend Nick Casucci to explore "Mirror My Enemy", the third song on Derek's album, "Trauma Cycle".

"Mirror My Enemy" delves into the internal struggle with self-identity and denial, especially when confronted with the harsh reality of one's own reflection during illness. Derek shares his experience of writing the first guitar lines, fueled by anger and the sense of injustice that accompanied his illness. The pain was so intense that denial felt like the only escape. However, through the process of writing this song, Derek was able to accept his reality, access his buried emotions, and begin to heal. Tune in for an emotional and powerful discussion that sheds light on the importance of confronting painful truths and finding God can heal through music.
