Among many things, the global pandemic is exposing and amplifying inequality and oppression. The many traumas of racism are manifesting and it’s always been necessary that we create an understanding of how we got here as well as how to respond in ways that actually promote healing in all of our communities. Additionally, we are experiencing the loss of people and things we love, and the constant uncertainty creates high levels of stress. High levels of stress over time can heighten existing trauma and limit our ability to choose how we wish to respond to the people and world around us.
Trauma occurs when the demands made on an individual exceed that individual’s reasonable capacities to fulfill them - when things happen too much, too fast; when one’s protective barrier to overstimulation is ruptured. Trauma is often unconscious, making it more challenging to understand our actions. "Trauma literacy," much like language literacy, enables people to understand one another and themselves -- a necessary foundation to take responsibility for our actions and our responses to our circumstances
