Healing Collective Trauma: How to Get Involved in Your Community
It's truly impossible to speak to anything about trauma recovery and healing without including how we do this in the environment of state violence, unrelenting stress fear. What I've observed and reflected with others is that when we see that our community needs us, and there are so many ways our community needs us, our personal values alert us to take action. That alert can come as a feeling and sense that we're not doing enough - then motivating us to mobilize into action. We might be focusing more on the “not enough” part of that sense, and not the “I'm doing” part that reflects the reality.
