The Progression of PTSD
The boarding schools were a very direct form of spiritual trauma that was enacted upon native students who were taken from their homes and raised in these military-style boarding schools. A PTSD is an individual diagnosis for someone who's experienced usually a single horrifying event. If you get PTSD from being assaulted, you can get complex PTSD from living in an abusive relationship. And then we have what's called an HDR, historical trauma. This was first observed in native communities. It's actually how psychologists understand dissatisfaction in a broad community.
