Racial gaslighting is the ways in which individuals or institutions try to manipulate or question people of color's sense of reality, often to assert or maintain control, superiority or power.
Ever thought about how racism affects mental health? In this episode of Tearapy Recovery, the hosts tackle the complex issue of racial trauma, guided by the insightful book 'Healing Racial Trauma' by Sheila Wise Rowe. This discussion is part of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, shining a light on the multifaceted impact of racism on black people in the U.S. From the physiological to the social and economic consequences, the conversation is both enlightening and essential.
The hosts break down various forms of racism, including vicarious trauma, racial gaslighting, interpersonal racism, and spatial racism. They delve into how these experiences manifest in mental health issues like fear, physical symptoms, and PTSD. But it’s not all doom and gloom; the episode also emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing racial trauma, offering resources for support and advocacy. The hosts wrap up with a heartfelt call-to-action, inviting listeners to share their own experiences and thoughts on Instagram.
This episode is a powerful reminder of why Minority Mental Health Awareness Month matters and why we need to keep talking about racial trauma and mental wellness.
