There's always the flip side is that if people talk about trauma and they don't talk about resilience, they're only telling you half the story.
Imagine living in a world where the color of your skin dictates the challenges you face daily. Eve Fox dives deep into this reality with David Archer, an anti-racist psychotherapist from Montreal, in this compelling episode of 'Mentally in Pajamas'. Archer brings his expertise in mental health to the table, offering a fresh perspective on how systemic racism affects the Black community.
He explains how racial trauma, stress, and PTSD are intertwined with everyday experiences of racism, and how these can have lasting impacts on mental health. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Archer passionately shares his methods for healing and overcoming these challenges. From black meditation practices that promote self-care and mindfulness to neuroscience-informed strategies for resolving racial trauma, he provides a toolkit for resilience.
This episode is not just about highlighting the problems but also about finding solutions and fostering hope. Archer's discussion on integrating African traditions and understanding their significance in other religious contexts adds another layer of depth to the conversation. If you’re looking for a candid discussion on mental health, resilience, and the impact of systemic racism, this episode is a must-listen.
