Episode 7 - Season 2 - The Tyre Nichols Tragedy and its Vicarious Impact on So Many

This week, Eric and Theo had on two guests to discuss the Tyre Nichols tragedy: NFL Veteran, Reggie Walker, and Integrative Mental Health MD/Writer/Author/Speaker, Dr. Carolyn Ross. As Theo and Reggie are both survivors of childe sexual abuse, and Dr. Ross (who lost her son at 29, the same age Nichols was when he died) focuses on trauma from many angles, the group discussed the vicarious trauma experienced by so many who watched this tragedy on video: from mothers to other victims of all types of abuse, persons of color to those who have been taken advantage of by authority figures. The group discusses how individuals become triggered, what happens in the brain when triggering happens, and why it often prevents us from compromising and making progress around social issues.
