In this episode of the show, I speak with fellow mental health professionals in a panel discussion, which focuses on the effects of intergenerational trauma specifically in the African American community. My guests include Karla Lewis, NCC and LPC resident, Trey Taylor, LCSW, Antaysia Nance, LCSW, and previous guest Erika Wormeley, LPC. In our discussion, we talk about the history and insurmountable pain of the African American experience that began four hundred years ago, and still persists in our society today. We also talk about the residual effects of those complex traumas, and how they are relevant to the current state of civil unrest, injustice, and systemic racism in America.
