Race Based and Intergenerational Trauma

Race-based trauma doesn’t always start with one moment. For many Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, it is the accumulation of experiences—microaggressions, discrimination, workplace harm, neighborhood violence, school-based racism, generational patterns, and the constant need to “be strong” in systems that were not built for us.

Over time, these experiences can live in the mind and body as:

• Hypervigilance

• Exhaustion or numbness

• Feeling unsafe in predominantly white spaces

• Anxiety, irritability, or chronic stress

• Grief, anger, or hopelessness

• Feeling disconnected from culture, identity, or self

• The pressure to shrink, code-switch, or overperform

Race-based trauma is not “just stress.” It is a response to ongoing harm. And healing is not simply an individual journey—it is collective and cultural.

In our work together, we honor the full truth of your lived experiences without asking you to minimize, justify, or intellectualize them. We explore grounding practices, somatic healing, ancestral wisdom, and strategies for reclaiming your voice and power in oppressive spaces.

You deserve spaces where you feel seen, safe, affirmed, and supported. We co-create that space together.
