I was not expecting this to be that bad.
And I'm black. It just feels so normal that we forget how bad it is.
What is normal...?
Blah b what?
@@dopetype
I'm making fun of the idiotic racial (and racist) thinking found among some black Americans.
The strongest racist thinkers among them have seriously claimed 'blackness' is a characteristic, so a bible-thumping ultra-conservative American black man should have everything in common with a homosexual atheist ultra-progressive man from Burundi.
They have even founded their own form of racist pseudo-science, called 'blackademia'.
So when someone goes "I'm black and my life feels normal, but I;m black so I must feel like a victim", it is fitting to make fun of this first step into racist madness.
After all they might be startled by where they are going, and stop racialised thinking and prefer common sense instead.
You do don't let your kids forget
@Gravivector neither were you but you prove the syndrome persists to this day. You need to watch a ful presentation so you can get your healing as well!
I got chills when she gave the example of the mother and son.
Yes. Oh my God 🙊
SAME!!! I SCREAMED
Because it's true
O my Goodness so true dear
Me too,
When she said the thing about Black mothers and their kids, it really hit home for me. My mother did it to me...had me thinking I was the dumbest kid on earth even though I taught myself how to read under the covers with a flashlight because I didn't want to be "stupid" anymore. I see the same things continuing with my siblings and their children. It's a broken family pathology.
A form of "protection" that continues to hurt the ones we love most, our children.
But it was rooted in love at that time. Our parents have to change the narrative, immediately!
And you've never in your life even considered the possibility that your mom was just a shitty parent?
@@peach2650 Abuse is never rooted in love, no matter the professed motive. My mother tried to justify her abuse to my by saying her father abused her but she never questioned his love for her. That kinda shit don't fly.
@@LinkMcStink Your situation when you were a kid was NOTHING like what was going on at that time. Need I remind you that kids were being tortured killed raped and used as alligator bait. That is why mothers said their kids were useless. NO COMPARISON and the discussion is not about you. These people were trying to save their children's lives, that is love my friend...
I’m glad we’re living in a time where we can discuss the issues especially mental health issues that plague the black community. Trauma, PTSD and witnessing horrific events of violence shouldn’t be normalized! Change will come where in the hood if people can be better informed, work together collectively instead of against each other like a crabs in a barrel mentality the hood can thrive. The hood has some of the most innovative, intelligent entrepreneurs but they don’t have the resources to succeed because of their zip code.... 💯💯💯
Hope there would a subreddit about this topic !
Very true. Resources make all the difference. When all of your surroundings are perilous and poverty stricken everyday life becomes a battle. Just like those crabs that are taken out of their natural habitat and placed in barrels. The barrel becomes a deathtrap and so does the hood.
Well said young man 👍🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽
All the more reason to support reparations for African descendants of chattel slavery.
Black people do have the resources to make a change. Unfortunately they don't know any better and by the time they realize the damage being done, it's too late and more issues wait for them around the corner. Black people need to be strategic about things.
Stop telling us to 'just get over it' when the abuse still continues.🚔
Things. Must. Change.✊🏿
Indeed
Get over it.
@@brickofwar9727 Speak up, ❄. Can't hear you with all these White girls all *over* me.🍆
Have fun with your 🍄-dicked leader about to be impeached and sent to prison. Ta, troll.🖕🏿
Then start talking about arabs and blacks in Africa and the middle east who are still enslaving black people
“die” is the appropriate response to “get over it.”
I love how she explains this because it applies to a lot of minority cultures for example the residential school system in Canada and what it did to the indigenous people of North America. Trauma is not a one generational thing.
Owen Iron I was thinking exactly the same thing. The trauma didn’t end when the residential schools closed, the trauma is still reverberating through generations of indigenous peoples.
It's like that for the Jews after the Holocaust, as well. You never quite get over it, no matter how many generations go by. My great grandparents escaped the Holocaust, but most of my family didn't and died in the camps, and I certainly have deep rooted scars from that even in this generation. Those who have managed to rise up from their generational scars are definitely the lucky ones.
@@mikaelacash3791
The Jews are the most successful group world wide. What are you talking about?
@@LilWhitePrivileged Being successful doesn't take away trauma. Rich people commit suicide at an alarming rate. Success couldn't help them.

she matured well. don't be rude ok
Lucky you (from France)
Anybody pushing/suing for REPARATIONS need to include this woman's findings in their case
Yes I agree!
We have included PTSD in Reparations. It is one of the injuries that is directly connected to Epigenetics. The trauma is embedded in Our DNA. Respect and Gratitude. The National Coalition of Blacks For Reparations in America N'COBRA Chicago Chapter Midwest Region www.ncobraonline.org

Omg..our sisters are the BEST teachers left and right.
Slavery never ended it just evolved
@Karl Lee Shut the f*ck up. This is America. Your people ain't going through shit here.
Agree, slavery never ended, just got repackaged by every presidency since and expanded in the form of the prison industrial complex. Watch 13th on Netflix if you haven't already. I've watched it 6 or 7 times and noticed some new detail each time. Well worth watching.
Really? And here I am looking at all the black folks I meet enjoying life and doing so many things

Only thing is our pale face brethren already knows this and the impact that it causes for their advantage. Plain Ficken Evol

I cry anytime I think about what our ancestors had to endure during slavery and Jim Crow and evey time an unarmed Black person is murdered by the police... I live the trauma just thinking about the injustices perpetrated on my people. Just the thought is very very painful. That's PTSD and it will never go away. 😢
With knowledge healing or at least acquiring better coping skills can occur.

@Gold & Diamond Mind Gold & Diamond Mind We can support them by not supporting them. And by that, I mean opposing reparations.
.. Yeah except nowadays most of that mistreatment and hardship that is inflicted on Blacks comes from other Blacks.. Often their parents

i have actually been guilty of the very first post traumatic syndrome she explained, knowing full well in my mind that my baby is good. now he turned out well but i really wish i could go back in 2009 and fix things.
You can fix things, just have that conversation. Because more than likely it is bothering them too.
You did the best you could at the time sis and that is worth a lot. You get to free yourself from guilt and appreciate the knowledge that you gained. As a young mother of two sons, I get it parental guilt that comes with the stress parenting under the gaze of white supremacy. We have a infinite loving connection with our sons, they know and we know and we can come back to that realization any time we choose. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏾💚🌸
Yes. Black Folks do this often. Even when referring to self
I agree with her 100%. Ive always believed this 4 our people, jus didnt know how to correctly put n2 words.. Smart lady.. Thank you my sista..
I love Dr. Joy. This should be taught HS level
This is spot on and I think it is trauma that has been passed down. My mother denigrated me and I therefore, for brief period of time, would denigrate myself to protect myself from hate and envy and aggression for being proud and confident.
One thing that is rampant in the black community is sexual abuse of little black girls and the the keeping it a secret.
It hurt to listen to this because black Americans are still being discriminated against
Dont wry the worlds watching ppl have ur back
Cyana Collington Black plp in generall all over the world
No... No they're not.
Please explain to me how our laws still discriminate against blacks I’ll wait.
epigenetics and generational trauma
Cromwellian Protectorate Republican Ashkenazi Jews are white gentiles, too. Ashkenaz is a historical descendant of Japheth in the OT so how are they not white and gentile. Their physical whiteness allows them to pass, maybe that’s why they are doing “far better”, as you put it. Apples and Oranges in comparison to those unable to assimilate or blend in visually. You know this already though smh.
Cromwellian Protectorate Republican because Jews are white
Churches name it as generational curse as if we're passing it on by choice.
One of the most prolific teachers and women.
Said no one ever
So true!
🤔💞
I went to her lecture on this and she is so on point. Any discussion about reparations has to include her work.
I've had the privilege to be present for one of her lectures, she touched on so much truth. I could have listed for longer for the information and wisdom she was providing, and not in a negative or hurtful way, but in a way to hear and understand the why.
Wish I could have been present on how to change the trauma. I would love to find like minded people wanting and willing to do the work.
I love Dr. Joy DeGruy. I can just watch her lectures for hours without getting bored. I learned about PTSS years ago while I was in undergrad and I swear everything made sense. And I love that Al Jazeera gave her the platform to speak.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Their is also genetic memory which has been passed down. The memories genetically passed down from slavery are trauma, fear , pain, inferiority, subservience etc etc
No truer words spoken.
Exactly!!!
@@AQtee *no true words spoken. There, fixed it for you.
This is sad and very eye opening I would like to thank the lady for doing research on this. I don't understand the negative votes, does it make people feel guilty or uncomfortable? Well history is sad, we need to learn from it one thumbs up from me 👍
@Gold & Diamond Mind Gold & Diamond Mind
Exactly!
The works of Robin Diangelo may help you understand those aspects of white racism...
This is spot on my mother still does stuff like this to this day! Other parents see her around the city and ask how is her son doing she never has anything positive to say other than he is ok...and I am ex-soldier, working for the government, college grad, working to get my masters and a father raising two sons but I'm always just ok. And the other kids parents rant and rave about their children even though they kids cant hold a torch to what I do or have done. That crap has hurt me all my life!!
So share this vid with her if you haven't already...she may not even realize how that mindset became ingrained.
Don't take this question too personal, but do you think your relationship with your mom and affected your dating choices ? Like is the mother of your sons a black woman?
So ur doing this to syrian ppl? Your destroying the weak like they destroyed you?
As she said, she never meant she wasn't/ isn't proud of you and your accomplishments!
It was a way to protect you from those that might harm you
(out of jealousy and envy) because of your success!
🤔
I didn't "give" an explanationI!
I stated that mothers applied this "tactic" in the "past",
(as "explained" in the video) it's been "passed down" through generations and mothers still apply it in the present!
She's smart and attractive!!
Wow this really opened my eyes. Thanks for covering this.
I am having an anxiety attack.
Edit: As soon as anxiety left her mouth it got worse.
Wow, this is amazing! Thank you. This is never looked at or seen as an issue that occurred because of slavery! PTSD is usually only related to people who went to war but, slavery is as traumatic and even worse than war. In the present day, this trauma gets worse because there is still trauma through systematic racism. Such as cases of police brutality against blacks on false assumptions, as well as academic oppression we see through the news about a school principal not allowing a boy to graduate because his dreads were too long? Anything is used to still oppress blacks. And unfortunately, some black people don't try to solve these problems by challenging the system, instead, they participate in gang violence and other distractions, to not deal with the larger issue of oppression.
Or maybe white people should stop the oppression...
They’ll be the first to argue that it doesn’t impact them because slavery is over.
Thank you for this video. I’m quite ignorant on this subject so I would be happy to see a longer version as well.
Look up her lectures on here, they're great.
I was already thinking to look for more information from her during the daytime but thank you for the tip.
It's not real.
Its totally fake. Lots of groups do well and have had much less opportunities than blacks. Jews and Asians are the most successful people in America hands down. Both of those groups have had it much worse.
Hydra You are free to have your own opinion but I think as histories differ it might be like comparing apples to oranges.
I’m absolutely not a specialist in this area but I can imagine that when a very big group of people is heavily abused for centuries and hasn’t been able to educate or develop itself in multiple ways it can have a very big impact on following generations.
A LOT OF VIDEOS from her on YT
The truth behind this and the way it flows both ways and still effects our society as a whole is crazy... When I was a teenager I went to a party with some friends a fight broke out (we didn't start it) one of my friends was shot, I grabbed thee gun he had dropped and shot back at the kid shooting at us... Didn't hit anyone... The kid actually responsible for shooting my friend spent 21 days in the juvenile detention center and was out free to live his life... I was 16 waived over to the country jail and being charged as an adult....at some point my family tried to appeal to the judge in my case, by not only telling but showing this person I was a good student, intelligent, decent athlete, and had a chance for success if this one mistake did not ruin my life(this woman said if I was so smart I should have known better) the end result of it all was being sentenced to 3 years in prison... Same judge gave a kid... Local celebrity of sorts he was 15 and had over 56 felonies something to that nature... She sentences him to 7or 8 months 8b a program... The people who came to speak for him stated that he was mentally challenged, and never had a chance... By all accounts I never had a chance he had many... same judge on the same day in fact sentences another young man to 10 years probation for 1st degree murder (victim was of course black) My point is the worst thing anyone could have done for me in that situation was to bring to life the belief in the white people who held my future in their hands that I could be anything other than what they saw me as...So to a very real degree this practice is still applicable
MY GOD I LOVE THIS WOMEN
One of my Professors spoke on this very subject, Thank You for this expanded knowledge.
Most importantly, educate yourself. First and foremost your history, your genetic makeup, where you come from specifically, and how it all effects you and the rest of us. This is a perfect example, we're stigmatized for nearly everything, within the community and outside of it, with having no idea WHY we say act speak and do things we do. I love this, may this video lead you to wanting more ❤❤❤
This is so true . I am 25 with 2 degrees and I am very modest so I feel like when I am complimented I downplay myself. Like oh yea it’s no big deal. And this is why ! It also hits me when shopping sometimes at fancy stores like it’s almost expected that someone will think I’m stealing because of what I have been through . It goes on and on . White people have no clue how AA have to navigate through this society and how easy they have it here in this country.. it’s like we are always aware of our color in white settings and that’s something they will never experience . Lastly , white people have no clue how much they will pay for their crimes and how that entitled bs stems from slavery. And I wish black folks would understand that team light skin bs also stems from slavery and it brings down self esteem of little black girls . Not accepted by the dominant society and their own culture telling them they are not beautiful enough because of skin color. Sad !
My goodness, you sure are a really sweet and tempting glass of chocolate milk and I am thirsty! Sugar britches, you can steal anything you want from me any day too.
All dark skinned black kids whether boys or girls are being referenced whenever skin color has its preferences. It’s never so specifically directed at “little black girls”, while black boys are bursting with positive esteem or something. That’s someone just singling themself out as being the victim of all victims. It hurts everyone, not just the side YOU relate to. We’re all one Foh, wit your vip status smdh

That's why it's so important to "have and share" this information. Everyone won't implement it, but you can't use what you don't have!

Wowww..she really made me think, bcs I too am guilty when someone compliments my kids for ex on how respectful they are I tend to dwn play it and say stuff like “yea but they tear my nerves up “ I do that with any compliment actually and I never realized what I was doing mentally.. wow!!

We're Oppressed by the Oppressed people by the Oppressor through Oppression.
Exactly
@Rat Man if you read the comment, you'd know I'm speaking metaphorically, we're and always have been oppressed, like the saying goes " If you do what you've always done , you'll get what you've always gotten " Now to say: why would we " expect" Other racist races to care for us is redundant and that's not a matter of fact, we're not here to ask for acceptance, we're here to change the ongoing false narrative that continues to keep our people oppressed.
@Rat Man There's no such thing as " Racism sdrawkcaB " If you're using racism as a crutch, and the system never holds racism accountable, and you feel we need something, that you're not giving us, then why don't you stop, look and listen to voices of the oppressed and stop listening to the oppressor!
@Rat Man THE ONLY MIND CONTROL IS OVER YOUR RACE! LEARN TO THINK FOR YOURSELF! YOU DON'T THEREFORE YOU'RE ALREADY BENEATH US! NOTE: IF WE'RE SO LOW, THEN WHY DO YOU NEED US?!EVERYTHING COMES FROM US AND YOU WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT US!

So true it’s in Embed in Our scars from slavery.
Lol your scars are inflicted by people in your life and childhood.. More often than not another black person
When you see old photos of your relatives hanging from tree's and you know that your women were raped and you were sold to the highest bidder, and you see the history of America. How you were exploited. You can't help but to feel some kind of way. (Mentally)! Some people think the fact that we made something out of nothing, that we are alright. Nothing can be farther from the truth. We can't forget! Sincerely! Mic'19 ADOS get involved
Wow, extremely fascinating. Thank your teaching us this. Truly explains quite a bit
this is eye opening!
Awesome. Wow. Thanks for sharing.
From listening to the professor’s example a lot *a lot* is put on mothers.
Alma M. Rinasz that’s because women are important when come to enslaving a people because they spend the most time with the children. Men are sold for work/sport, killed to be made examples of so that others fall in line. And most women would be smart to echo this sentiment to their children because the last thing they want is to see their children in pain or sold off or killed. It’s still kinda like that today🤫
Yeah, because ados/black families were purposely broken. It helped to subjugate the collective to separate husbands and wives. Without the family unit, we always saw the master as the head.
@@keishajones3830
Exactly! Men were used for "breeding only" then separated from women.
Since the end of slavery, "systems" have been put in place to separate black men from black women!
🤔
Dr. DeGruy looks so good!!! Since the pandemic in 2020, I have been following her work!
I've known about this for years. It's a real thing. I'm a Jew, and my black friends and I really bond over our shared experiences of generational trauma. Jews like me have been able to rise up more because our Jewishness isn't visible like it is for black people, but the memories are still there. I really want so badly to be able to help my black brothers and sisters, but I just don't know how. If even I as a visibly white person can't get over all the horrible things that have been done to my ancestors in the past and still get panic attacks over those things, how can I help my friends who don't blend in as well as I do? Generational trauma is such an awful phenomenon. How do you end something like that? I try, and I try, and I try to help others who suffer from it, but it just seems like nothing is enough :'(
i understand completely. my family suffered greatly due to the japanese occupation during ww2, and my ancestors before that were forced to flee southern china during the great leap forward due to their religious and cultural values. it was extremely traumatic to them and i feel it like a deep scar as well
Sorry to ask, but I'm confused a little. You say you're Jewish, but your CZcams name is Christian, and your profile pic looks Muslim...?
Yeah, my family has many stories from ww2 in occupied Poland. They are very touching.
@@DrRiq Jewish is an ethnicity, not just a religion. Would it make more sense if I used the word Hebrew? I'm a Hebrew. When the Nazis went after Jews, they went after an ethnic group. Not a religious group. They snatched you up whether you practiced the religion or not. They saw us as foreigners because we weren't 100% European. We weren't Aryan. And my profile picture is not Muslim. Headcoverings don't belong to one religion. It's in the Bible, too. Pretty much every religion has headcovering of some kind in their holy texts. I hope this is helpful and clears up your confusion. I know it can be confusing when you hear someone say they're a Jew but they practice a different religion other than Judaism. It's an ethno-religion. Jewish can refer to both the religion and the people. The majority of Jews in America today are actually secular. They practice their culture and remember where their people came from, but they don't hold the religious beliefs. But despite that, they are still Jews. If it's in your blood, you're a Jew, whether you believe in Judaism or not.
@@user-on1zq9dv7f I'm very sorry your family went through that. Even when we haven't personally lived through those traumas personally, they can still affect us many generations into the future. Those scars just never go away. I wasn't alive during WW2, but I've heard stories about how many of my family members didn't make it to America in time and died in those Nazi camps, and it just burns my heart so much that my family was murdered like that. The slavery in Egypt, the exodus from Israel, my people went through so much pain and suffering over the centuries. And every time an act of anti-semitism happens in my area or anywhere else now, it's like those old wounds are just torn right open again.
You Tube needs to add a citation button so we can reference their videos!
I agree that we need to take a look at institutional problems. We all need to highlight every time when there is a difference in how justice, rewards, and penalties are delivered. Our society needs an attitude adjustment. It isn't good enough to be satisfied that we have what we need, but we need to fight for others to have what we have.
I keep hearing about institutional problems, but never hear one called out specifically.
@@hillerm OK...specifically criminal justice has problems like individuals being charged and convicted differently based on social standing and race. When blacks and hispanics are pulled over, how they are treated is often different based on their race. Wage inequality. Predatory lending practices. I could go on. The point is, if someone is treated differently under the law or in society because of race, gender, age or other discriminatory reasons, then that is wrong and we need to call it out.

Very smart young lady , I totally agree yet never looked at it that way.
Wow I’m so moved by this. Thank you. Absolutely necessary and should be in schools.

At this point I feel that returning to Europe is the only hope they have in order to survive into the future. If not they will be subsumed and integrated back into the colored peoples of the earth. At this rate 500 years from now we will be reading about them, and the suffering and confusion that they brought with them, in history books. At that time the colored peoples of the earth will begin to look around at each and wonder "what the f*** was that all about. Whew, I feel better already!" Lol. I hold no ill will towards white people but as more and more colored peoples of the earth begin to come back to themselves white peoples way of doing things will naturally come to an end because a lie can only last so long in the face of truth. They only have two choices, stay the same and die or change and live.
Monika Padilla of course ! Exactly !
Yes, but the same time, whites are still benefitting from the actions of their ancestors. And deep down they know that. That’s why discussions like this make them uncomfortable and angry.
The children of Israel will soon be free
Greedy-Grove Tx Yes, but only if we actively, intentionally, and consciously, fight for that freedom. As we can see, nobody’s gonna help us with this. They are heavily invested with us being at “the bottom” and us staying there, even to the point of where they constantly stalk us on the internet and troll “black interest” videos.
She’s one of my teachers. I never met her but I’ve learned so much from her.
"It happened so long ago" indeed. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for my Revolutionary War re-enactment weekend lol
Yeah. What hypocrits!
Facts! So true
Sad to say but she is absolutely correct in her information. But what's sadder is slavery isn't over and it will soon effect us in ways we can't imagine. We can see how this form of slavery was wrong but can't see how it's still going on nor how it's about to get worse because then it becomes just the way things are or that's not gonna happen that's impossible. Our Ancestors slavery probably was viewed the same way at some point also. Wake up!! Step back and open your minds. Asé 🙏🏾❤️
@Rat Man what are you even talking about??? Don't post BS under my post. Idiot. Lol smh
I can’t explain how much I appreciate seeing this video…after we finally learn what they were doing, the damage is already done.
Wow...
I felt great emotion when she was describing the denigration to protect. I have experienced that with my parents. Till this day I harbor resentment towards them for derailing me from my dreams.
I'm so thankful for this woman!
So so true OMG that explains a lot about my family. God bless this wonderful Doctor
So happy to see Dr. Joy DeGruy today. I have listened to her information before but in have not listened to it recently. I think it is important to have this as a regular reminder of what we have been through and unfortunately are still still enduring. I find that we internalize all of this external trauma and accept it as a normal part of life. Having this reminder helps to address what is really occurring.
Having identified this mental illness, what type of help will the American government provide to black people to help them deal with PTSS? Will they provide Social Security and Social Security Disability for Mental Health? Medicaid? Free Insurance? Where is the help?
Wow!! She just blew my mind with how well she laid that all out! We should all share this video with everyone we know. She's brilliant
PTSD is a huge public health issue, since it is multi general, what she's talking about is at such a different level, I hope there will be more research/education so future generations don't carry that stress.
We definitely need therapy, but you know what else would help? Paying recompense for the fact black bodies were use to build wealth and then made into a contagion to it. We were render down to an exploitation class, used to benefit and enrich others. Moreso than anything, reparations need to be paid so the biggest wound from slavery (and post slavery systematic racism) can be closed, the racial wealth gap.
@@Dominini I couldn't agree more . I live in Paris, and race doesn't feel like the same issue as in the states and my daughter sees black people as her teacher, her doctor, her friends, where in the states I felt so seperated. I think free university, free health care and good social benefits have helped to a certain degree in France. I think in the states, black students should at least have free university and healthcare. And definitely affirmative action in education.
I am completely overwhelmed by what I have just seen. 😲 Seeing the example of the mothers in the class room is my life. I'm 58 yrs. Old. And I'm totally blown away.
My didn't even what me to hug her in public. And not that much in private. She is passed now. I know she loved me. But just wouldn't show it. Now I know why.😭
So grateful for this video 💜 i pray we all heal productively
Learning so much. 3 years ago my best friend called me out on my privilege as a non-black poc; she told me how it hurts her so much to know that she'll never ever know exactly which country/ies her culture in Africa originates from because of so many generations of being shipped and sold and disgraced and and brutalized and discriminated against at the hands of white people. They robbed her and so many of their roots and autonomy over diaspora.
i totally agree with her, to this day i have breakdowns at random times because my friends can say they’re dominican or mexican, they can celebrate who they are, and i can’t. i cant listen to music from my country or wear clothes from my country, because idk where i’m from. now i catch myself trying to be closer to those people so i can have someone to relate to, my family makes fun of me saying i want to be hispanic so bad, but it’s true, i want to be proud of where i am and i cant, i want what they have.
Read her book, it’s deep!!!
This was so enlightening. I genuinely enjoyed receiving this knowledge.
This is one of those things you watch and go wow! It is clearly just scratching the surface of what it is addressing because it is a short video. Though it says a lot and resonated with me, personally. This is some deep stuff and has permeated through several generations now. It also explains why some blacks act as as they do when responding to everyday situations. The mental health issues that go unaddressed in black culture is staggering and I can vouch for it since I feel the affects of it daily. Thanks for sharing this informative piece because every bit counts. Best, Marvin 😀
Her work should be "Required"/Strongly Recommended reading/research for all!
There’s trauma no doubt about that. I love that people are now conducting research on this though.
Hidden Colors changed my life that's how I learned of this woman, she so eloquently defined the true meaning of PTSS.
OMG! I'm so glad somebody is touching on this topic with the correct terminology and the words and the vocabulary oh my God I'm so glad.
