Here it is. We've arrived at some tough topics. In order to become trauma-sensitive (per the The Missouri Model), we have to increase our awareness of historical (i.e., generational) and system-oriented traumas/retraumatization.
This is where trauma-informed meets cultural humility and cultural awareness. And also where, if we continue to hold on to our cultural blindness (and the implicit biases that go along with that), we cannot call ourselves trauma-informed.
On this episode:
We go over how social media allows our awareness of cultural and systemic differences to change rapidly (compared to pre-social media/internet days)
- Definition of historical/generational trauma
- My "Sisyphus Analogy" of systemic privilege and the importance of not conflating individual adversity with system-driven, group-level trauma (i.e., historical/generational trauma).
