Today, I introduce the first of three videos of his talk "Colonization and Intergenerational Traumatization & Healing Within First Nations Communities".
In these videos, Joe ‘discusses what trauma is, how the experiences of colonization “qualify” as trauma, how trauma might be transmitted across the generations, crime and other social problems as understandable responses to trauma, and implications for healing individuals, families and communities.’
In the first video, Joe talks about different types of trauma: Type 1 (acute), Type 2 (chronic) and Type 3 (intergenerational). If you enjoy this video, check out Part 2 and Part 3.
