@pbsnews: The effect of generational trauma on Black women Most people experience a traumatic event some time during their lives — losing a loved one, being the victim of violence or surviving a natural disaster. But what happens when the impact of trauma is the indirect result of the experiences of family and caretakers? Ali Rogin speaks with Inger Burnett-Zeigler, author of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen: The Emotional Lives of Black Women," about the effects of generational trauma for our ongoing series, Race Matters. #pbsnews #pbsnewshour #newshour #generationaltrauma #MentalHealth #blackwomen #blackwomenandmentalhealth #mentalwellness #womenshealth #blackcommunity #blackhistorymonth #ptsd #MentalHealthAwareness #racematters
So valid and unfortunately our society seems determined to perpetuate and deny these traumas.

I really wish that I could find a therapist in my city that specializes in this because the struggle is so real 🤦🏾♀️

The dna studies on this are so validating-if our already limited healthcare wasn’t being dismantled-I would have expected more studies done on this. We will have to watch the rest of the world ig

Best example. I went to therapy at 12. Dr spoke to my mom & told me, “If your mom told you to stay away from the stove because it is hot, then you grow to fear the stove, even though you never got burned.”

So she's basically saying we could be dealing with somebody else's trauma. Because they never healed from it. That's great another thing I have to deal with as a black woman. 🤦🏾♀️🙄💯
