PTSD and the Intersection of Discrimination
In session 4 of Enhancing Trauma Awareness, we explore the signs and implications of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
In our 4th episode, Cathleen, Michelle, and SaraLiz share personal stories that explain the difference between “little t” and “big T” traumas compared to trauma that develops into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They explore how experiences of discrimination towards multiple groups of humans contribute to higher levels of PTSD within those groups.
