War is always a humanitarian crisis. The innocent victims caught in the middle of two countries, parties, entities fighting are always the ones that suffer the most. 

Most recently, the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, land between Armenia and Azerbaijan has resurfaced complicated feelings for those who live there and millions in the diaspora.  

Armenians in the diaspora are feeling helpless and stressed as International powers have not stepped in to intervene in the conflict.   

Many reports feeling a sense of guilt and an intense desire to do more.    

Edit Alaverdyan is a licensed associate psychotherapist who works with families and children.   

We discuss why Armenians are so loud. Why we are always seeking validation. How the denial of the Genocide has impacted who we are as a community and people.   We dig deep into the impact of transgenerational trauma and how it has shaped our ability to process information. The importance of how we communicate with our children during these stressful and tense times.
