There is not much formal research to refer to on cultural trauma.  

When cultural trauma exists we see people picturing the worst with lack of control. We have lived through change before, but this time our culture has been assaulted. President Elect Trump's comments have given permission for us to change ours ways of thinking, acting and feeling, a huge cultural shift!  Politics will change (including uniting racist change) but the trauma to our culture will last forever. Cultural shifts seem to come fast and furious. 

How do we feel safe? Minimize the personal effect; strengthen our relationships with cultural, non-profit groups we believe in, family, church. Stay in the moment , empower the individual.  What will happen in four years? We may return to a much more traditional way of living. Duane Bowers offers his expert advice on how to survive this elected cultural shift.

Because workplace violence prevention has been commoditized by sales people selling training videos, computer based training, active shooter training focuses on what to do "if" there's an active shooter instead of focusing on how to manage and prevent the transition from disgruntled employee to active shooter. This transition to homicidal violence is a reaction to a threat that inevitably results in death or injuries, too late. Our active shooter training is on what to do to minimize further risk during the shooting but not tied to prevention. 

There are 5 stages to the active shooter mindset that never gets discussed. While in support of police intention, they cannot influence the workplace implementation of policies, plans, procedures and training.

In this episode we talk with Gloria Maynard about the unsolved murder of her then 20-year-old daughter Lisa Gondek. Lisa had moved out of the family home in Connecticut and in 1981 was living in Oxnard, California with a friend. On December 12 she was found strangled to death in the bathtub of her apartment. Her body had been posed erotically and the apartment had been set on fire.

Twenty years later DNA testing led to a chilling development: Twenty-year-old Rachel Zendejas, who had been found raped and strangled to death in nearby Camarillo, California on January 18, 1981, and Lisa had been murdered by the same person. 

The only other link between the two murders was that Both Lisa and Rachel had been in a Huntington’s night club within hours of their deaths and their killer remains at large.
