HOW TRAUMA IMPACTS US

The event(s) may have occurred a week ago, or half a century ago, it directly impacts how we see the world and can affect all aspects of our life. Talking about it may be a helpful but sometimes it's just not enough. At Sankofa Healing Studio, we believe that a person’s inner feelings impact their physical form so we focus on mind-body exercises to release pent-up trauma from the mind and the body. By releasing these bodily sensations, we create a space where you can work towards healing trauma from the inside. This approach reduces the overwhelming "heaviness" of life circumstances. 


We will be there for you every step of your journey. Our goal is to support your growth beyond your struggles as you move forward to where you want to be in your life. Our focus is YOU. We support you as you heal and become aware of your inner strengths. We provide a space where you can express yourself. Show up as you - unapologetically authentic!


Racial Trauma

The traumatizing role of emotional assaults (referred to as micro-aggressions), systemic oppression, and racial terrorism has profound effects on the black community. Research has linked racism to a host of impairments, including serious psychological distress, physical health problems, depression, and anxiety.

Childhood Trauma

Abuse – physical, sexual, and emotional – is traumatic for a child. It can continue to be impactful throughout adulthood. Some of those experiences include:

  • neglect and/or extreme poverty
  • a violent household
  • losing a parent or sibling 
  • a mentally ill or addicted parent
  • feeling unsafe in their neighborhood
  • experiencing discrimination based on their race, ethnicity, or sexuality
  • being bullyed

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience in our lives. Depression symptoms take many forms, and no two people’s experiences are exactly alike.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can continue after traumatic events. Sometimes trauma is virtually unnoticeable even to the person's closest friends and family. This highlights the importance of talking to someone after a traumatic event has occurred, even if they show no initial signs of disturbance.

 

Reclaiming our past provides us with valuable knowledge to protect our future while understanding and shifting our present condition.
