How our relationship with our cultural heritage may change over time; How racial trauma has a cross-generational dimension, with Cory Stewart, integrative counsellor.
In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Cory Stewart, integrative counsellor, with an interest on the topic of identity.
We talk about Cory’s belonging journey over time, going back to childhood and teenage years with moments of fitting in instead of bringing his whole self and identity, later experiencing a shift in his relationship with his cultural heritage, to his now deeply embodied definition of Belonging.
As young parents, Cory and Fiorenza talk about the importance in providing their children understanding and education, in a way that is fully inclusive and representative, starting in early years education.
Fiorenza and Cory openly discuss the feelings when asked THE question - where are you from?
Mental health can very much be impacted when reflecting or being in the midst of an identity crisis or even when feeling that we don’t fit in. Cory offers insightful reflections from his counselling room.
Fiorenza and Cory also talk about Racial Trauma and its cross-generational dimension: there may be a generational burden from a trauma one hasn’t directly experienced, but their parents, grandparents or ancestors have. This can be very challenging to unpack, especially as it may not feel ours at first. Cory shares as this is becoming more and more common and how one’s attempt to heal may antagonize others, that aren't ready yet.
