What is the difference between trauma and stress? How do trauma and racism intersect? How does trauma impact our ability to engage in work that feels uncomfortable, and what can be done to mitigate it?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.
In this episode, Jill discusses trauma and how it can impact anti-oppression work. She discusses the difference between stress and trauma, the different ways that trauma reactions show up, and how the fear of social threat can hinder our ability to engage in meaningful anti-racism and anti-oppression work. Jill also shares 3 ways to mitigate the impact of trauma to allow for true progress on a personal and societal level.
