The Impacts of Racial Trauma and Oppression on the Mind, Body, and Spirit -
Racial Trauma is a specific type of trauma that is generational and insidious. How do we understand it, incorporate language around it in our practices, and ensure we are healing from it ourselves? We will discuss racial anxiety, diagnosing, and the daily impacts of racially traumatic experiences. We will learn ways to work with clients, students, or supervisees around rest as reparations (The Nap Ministry) and thriving rather than surviving (Dr. Bettina Love).
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to define insidious trauma
Participants will be able to demonstrate and recognize methods of collective care
Participants will be able to explain why rest is necessary
