Cultural Impact on Stress & Trauma
- Our culture often romanticizes stress as a sign of success, leading to disconnection from our bodies and their signals.
- Trauma is often stigmatized, preventing individuals from seeking help and perpetuating a cycle of dysregulation.

- This externalization manifests as impatience, intolerance, conflict, and contributes to societal problems like violence and substance abuse.
