How to reconnect to self after trauma | Dr. Thema Bryant

What does it mean to be disconnected from yourself? What does it mean to be disconnected from your body after trauma? What does healing look like for the African-American community and the Black American after historical and contemporary traumas? How will this impact our self-esteem and mental health?

At Illuminate, President of American Psychology Association, Dr. Thema Bryant, explores the effects of historical and contemporary trauma, providing an idea of what safety looks like in the bodies of heavily melanated individuals in America — and how to get there.
