Ep. 43 Black Mental Health: Trauma & Its Impacts Across the Lifespan (Dr. Micheal Kane)

Описание: Black Mental Health: Trauma & Its Impacts Across the Lifespan. There’s a lot to unpack there. Dr. Micheal Kane, a clinical traumatologist based in Seattle will be our guest on Ep. 43 of Shining Light on Shadows: A Candid Conversation About Mental Health.

On a personal note, Dr. Kane was my therapist for almost ten years when I lived in Seattle. It means the world to me that he will be a guest on our show.

We’ll hear from Dr. Kane about lifelong and intergenerational trauma that is specific to African Americans, particularly the trauma of invisibility.

He will also share his insights on how everyone—regardless of race—processes trauma and the ABCs of living IN vs. living WITH one’s trauma. He’ll explain that we need to 1) be Advocates of our own healing, 2) that we need to find balance and 3) that we need to find calmness. Most importantly, we need self-love.

Please join us Thursday, February 12 at 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT for what is sure to be a fascinating discussion.

If you can’t watch the live show, feel free to watch the recording on this page (until March 11).
