But films like <em data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"968\">Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em> and <em data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"984\">Rocketman<\/em> show something deeper: no amount of fame, achievement or financial security gives any of us immunity from the impact of childhood trauma.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1485\">In Springsteen\u2019s story, we see how the emotional landscape of his early years \u2014 especially growing up with an alcoholic father \u2014 shaped him well into adulthood. By his early 30s, despite the world seeing a rising superstar, he was privately battling depression, fear, and a deep sense of loneliness. These wounds weren\u2019t about weakness. They were about history.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1598\">And that\u2019s the truth many people never hear:<br data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1534\" \/><strong data-start=\"1534\" data-end=\"1598\">You cannot out-achieve your childhood.

But trauma isn\u2019t the kind of thing you can simply walk away from.
