Coming Out Late Ep. #185: The Evolution- and Acceptance-of Trauma In Our Society, (a prequel)
Our coming out journey can be fraught with challenges, loss, little victories, followed up with more stress, anxiety, shame and guilt. What does our society think about these kinds of feelings and reactions? Are they considered trauma-responses? Or are we supposed to just ‘get over it’ or cope with it, independently.
In this episode, you will learn . . .
- About the differences between Big “T” and Little “t” trauma.
- How both Big “T” and Little “t” trauma were perceived decades ago, as compared to how society views and distinguishes them ‘today’.
- What were the few things that were considered Big “T” trauma?
- What is ‘trauma-informed care’?
- What does it mean if someone suffers from ‘cumulative stressors’?
- Holistic & integrated approaches to the rescue!
