Learn the Language of Healing — A Workshop on Emotional & Racial Trauma

In this foundational workshop, we explore two distinct but often overlapping forms of trauma: general emotional trauma and racial trauma. This session is ideal for individuals seeking clarity, healing, and a deeper understanding of how trauma affects their daily lives and relationships.

🧠 Emotional Trauma

We begin by unpacking emotional and psychological trauma — the result of distressing experiences like neglect, abuse, loss, or chronic stress. You’ll learn:

How emotional trauma manifests in the body and behavior

Common trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)

How unresolved trauma impacts self-worth, trust, and relationships

Strategies for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing

✊🏽 Racial Trauma

Next, we address racial trauma, a unique and often unrecognized form of trauma rooted in experiences of racism, discrimination, or generational oppression. This section includes:

Understanding what racial trauma is and how it differs from other trauma

Exploring the emotional and identity-based effects of racism

How generational and cultural wounds affect self-perception and safety

Tools to reclaim empowerment, belonging, and healing through awareness

Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or seeking validation for experiences that were never named, this workshop offers a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to help you move forward with understanding and hope.

📍 Available virtually and in-person for individuals, support groups, and community organizations in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
