Is Your Culture Making Your Trauma Worse? - Episode #78

Send an anonymous text messageEver wondered how culture shapes our understanding of trauma? Join me, Fatima Bey, on the MindShift Power Podcast as Erica Bess, a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, and I explore this intriguing question. We unravel the complex relationship between cultural backgrounds and trauma, particularly in the lives of teenagers. Discover how the unique cultural landscapes within countries like the United States, Switzerland, and India influence perceptions of trauma. Through personal stories and historical contexts, we discuss the profound impact cultural heritage and generational trauma have on our worldview, offering a fresh perspective on the challenges teens face today.We journey through time, touching on intergenerational trauma, from my African-American grandmother's experiences during the Jim Crow era to the lingering scars of the Bosnian War and Mao Zedong's China. Erica and I shine a light on how cultural contexts can amplify trauma, sometimes creating barriers to seeking help. By delving into microaggressions and the pervasive issue of misogyny, particularly in misogynistic societies, we aim to challenge societal norms and encourage a more compassionate understanding of these complex issues.Our conversation takes a deeper dive into unpacking trauma responses and cultural mindsets, offering listeners a new lens to view human behavior. Erica brings her expertise to the table, helping us explore how what may seem irrational could be a trauma response within a particular cultural context. This episode is an invitation to rethink our judgments and embrace empathy, all while fostering discussions that could potentially transform young lives around the globe.
