Aya Caspi, Certified NVC Trainer:
Join Aya Caspi, a Certified NVC Trainer, as she delves into the difficult topic of parenting, childhood trauma, and social status. She discusses the generational impact of being labeled by society as "less than" or subservient. The wounds of childhood trauma can be healed so they no longer are a means of control by a dominant culture.
Childhood trauma has a significant impact on a person. Often a person feels inferior and accepts the role of being second class or not good enough. This is embraced by dominant culture as a means of controlling people and manipulating them into believing they can never break free of the pain and find inner peace and equality.
She discusses how collective trauma is a result of the oppressed and oppressor dynamic that exists. This construct is not designed to support our human needs. The reward and punishment system that prevails within society results in a sense of obligation, shame, and guilt.
