This session examines how adverse childhood experiences shape consumer behavior through fragmented identity, narcissism, and symbolic consumption. Presenting segment-level empirical findings, it challenges linear trauma models and explores how classical psychedelics may moderate trauma-driven consumption. The discussion bridges social theory and quantitative analysis, offering trauma-informed perspectives on markets and subjectivity.
