All About Relationships Shante Vines

COVID has impacted our lives in many ways and the impact that it has had on intimate relationships is overwhelming to say the least. Did COVID unveil mental health issues within your relationship that you never knew existed? Did you rely on social media so much so that it put a damper on intimacy? Did you begin to notice childhood trauma responses from your partner and recognized how this is impacting healthy communication? Listen in as we discuss these factors and move forward towards growth and healing. 

Racial Trauma, historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, accountability, being a black man in America, mothers raising black boys, gangs as revolutionaries; what does all of this have to do with community trauma? What are those on the frontlines of this fight have to say? 

We all have been impacted by the weight, pain, and anxieties that come from living in and through community trauma. Communities live with being misdiagnosed and misunderstood without anyone knowing their story and their experience. Join me, Amar X, Aniyah Vines, Ci'kiethia Peebles and Alyica-Benjamin Peebles, a few of the most influential young revolutionaries of our time and take this journey with us as we dive deeper into this topic and look through the lens of experience, pain and hope.      

Have you ever asked yourself "Why"? Why do I respond the way that I do in my relationships? Why can't I trust others the way that I should? Why do I push people away? When you have experienced childhood trauma there are lots of why's that can span into adulthood. Childhood trauma can show up in the things that you say, in the things that you do, how you treat others and most importantly how you treat yourself. Join me and a part of my village as we share our knowledge and discuss the unique process of healing related to the impact of childhood trauma. Although this kind of trauma can bleed into adulthood, there is hope knowing that it is never to late to gain internal clarity and to be restored. 

What was that! This is the question most of us have been asking ourselves as we reflect on 2020 but I wonder what 2020 has taught you about yourself? Did you grow through your isolation? Did you have to work through issues of depression and anxiety? Did you appreciate life more through your grief? Did you realize you had to love yourself by getting to know who you really are? Join me and guests as we dive deeper into reflecting on 2020 and apply the necessary pressure of growth in 2021.
