How To Recognize Trauma?

Most people can't define trauma let alone recognize it - even when they've experienced trauma themselves.  Too often, we ignore and dismiss incidents and experiences that truly are traumatic under the auspices that it will pass and things will be fine.  But the trauma is still there, and we often don't realize until after that fact or until it's too late the need to acknowledge the trauma and process it. 

On this episode of The Offshoot, trauma expert Cory George answers the question how to recognize trauma?  As someone who has recognized and learned from his own trauma, that date back to years, Cory defines trauma to provide a clear understanding of what it is to experience trauma.  He dives into the trauma of Black Americans who he describes as having generational trauma.  Additionally, he provides a way forward for any and everyone who is ready to heal and prevent their trauma from being passed down to their offsprings.
