Trauma-Sensitive series: Stages of historical trauma and its echoes through time

Sorry this one took so long to get out! (Had some software snafus to deal with.) But here we go with the second episode towards becoming trauma-sensitive. Heavy topics, but super important to confront our discomfort with these if we want to truly be trauma-informed.

On this episode:

1. The three stages of historical trauma
2. A reframining of a few mass traumas (i.e., stage 1 of historical traumas) experienced by minorites in U.S. history
3. Rhetoric and language around dehumanization
   • Microaggressions as an example of implicit bias and ongoing casual dehumanization
