We know that we react to overwhelming situations in different ways that are seemingly automatic. Racial trauma is all around us and those in the Majority Community (White or Caucasian) have responded in predictable ways. Many in the Black Community feel offended and frustrated about how those in the Majority Group respond. This video may seem "too generalized" to some and "racist" to others. However, the research is applied from notable contributors ie: Van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score), Shapiro (EMDR).
My practice is 95% Majority Middle Class and I make statements based in my understanding of that population.
The research regarding the impulse reactions comes from Janina Fisher, PhD. Her trauma flipchart can be found on:janinafisher.com/flip-chart
