Post Traumatic Growth with Richard D. Smith Pt.1
Join us for our interview of Richard D. Smith, national speaker for the African American Community on mental health issues and intergenerational trauma.
Asking "what happened to you?" as opposed to "what's wrong with you?" is the beginning of understanding and diffusing aggressive behaviors, all of which are rooted in trauma response. When you stop and ask this question it can be an awakening to self-awareness. As a speaker, professor, community advocate and childhood trauma survivor Richard teaches us about the revolutionary act of self love.
