This week’s episode is called: My Racial Trauma was Triggered. In this episode, I discuss how the January 6th event at the Capitol triggered my own, and likely many other BIPOC’s racial trauma. I process my own reactions, and discuss how our emotional reactions relate to racial trauma and negative core beliefs that have been internalized and reinforced through multiple experiences of racism and discrimination, and how anger is a secondary emotion that masks underlying emotions. Since we are discussing a sensitive subject, please note that this episode may be triggering for some.
