Description

Our growing understanding of intergenerational and collective trauma is challenging therapists’ standard treatment methods. Recognizing that some trauma can be inherited—or be shared by groups, communities, ethnicities, and nationalities—can open up new avenues of healing, especially for clients who otherwise seem hopelessly stuck. In this recording, you’ll learn to identify and process the subtle signs of intergenerational and collective trauma in your clients, and potentially yourself.
