The Neurophysiology of Racialized Trauma

Description

Racialization is experienced as traumatic for Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). This webinar evaluates race and racialization through an intergenerational and historical lens to consider the impacts on mental, physical, and emotional health of racism on BIPOC. We cover the implications of racism on epigenetics, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and lived experience of racism. We also examine the construction of whiteness within a historical framing, and how the myth of white body supremacy has shaped institutions including medicine. Finally, we explore how the principles of naturopathic medicine and our healing modalities, which have their roots in Indigenous healing practices, can lend aid in healing racialized trauma for BIPOC patients and providers, and can support white bodied individuals with increasing their capacity to sit with the discomfort inherent to engaging anti-racism.
