Shattered Lives: Duane Bowers on Cultural Trauma

There is not much formal research to refer to on cultural trauma.  

When cultural trauma exists we see people picturing the worst with lack of control. We have lived through change before, but this time our culture has been assaulted. President Elect Trump's comments have given permission for us to change ours ways of thinking, acting and feeling, a huge cultural shift!  Politics will change (including uniting racist change) but the trauma to our culture will last forever. Cultural shifts seem to come fast and furious. 

How do we feel safe? Minimize the personal effect; strengthen our relationships with cultural, non-profit groups we believe in, family, church. Stay in the moment , empower the individual.  What will happen in four years? We may return to a much more traditional way of living. Duane Bowers offers his expert advice on how to survive this elected cultural shift.
