Show Notes

History matters, but it also presents challenges for those hoping to move past trauma and toward healing. This is as true for historically oppressed groups as it is for individuals. In this episode for Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Ryan Sutton, director of the African American Male Research Initiative at the University of Texas Austin, leads us through a conversation about Post-traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) and how taking account of history in the right way can support the therapeutic endeavor.
