The deep, emotional work of coping through times of mass violence is challenging and ongoing. Humanizing one another is a process. š¤²š½š©µ Taking action helps keep us from getting stuck in our own way. If youāre noticing yourself wanting to avoid, ignore, or deny the mass violence happening on the local, national, and global levels, youāre not alone. Consider working with a qualified therapist with a commitment to the value of social justice.
š³š¤²š½ Therapists can and do work with people and families who are directly impacted by mass violence, including those who are experiencing secondary trauma. Remember that secondary trauma occurs when a trauma happens to someone close, however, we are all experiencing a collective trauma of witnessing mass violence unfolding at the local, national, and global levels.
