About this listen

Growing up in poverty is not normal. It puts a strain on your development. You are guaranteed to experience trauma in your day to day life. The temptation is to believe that the trauma of the daily life in the hood is "normal."  It's not normal and today Terence L. Shigg MFT discusses how that type of thinking can do more harm than good.

To accept trauma and to process it in a healthy way are two completely different things. Terence talks about his experience and relates them to concepts of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy.

Terence also talks about getting a therapist or a coach because it is not IF stressors will occur in your life it is just a matter of when.
