Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.
Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
New research is providing insight into how people associate race with gender.
According to the study it has pointed out that this stereotypical association is weaker in Black women and Asian men. To determine whether a person’s ingroup identity and group status play a factor in such associations, the research team conducted two separate studies. Their research examines whether intersecting racial and gender identities affect people’s perception. Keeping in mind that the participants associated Black people and East Asian people with either masculinity or femininity.
What does this mean: It means these studies demonstrate that the gender content of racial stereotypes has important real-world consequences in shaping of our culture and biases: If there is one thing you need to know about biases, it is that WE all have them.
So, these studies show two things: cultural/personal identity. Meaning Culture, in this context, refers to the beliefs, norms, behaviors, and values that a given group of people deem acceptable. Whereas identity is about knowing what is acceptable and true for yourself. We form a cultural identity when we subconsciously interpret and incorporate signals and biases from the world around us into our own identity so we can belong.
In psychology, it is an established belief that people make associations based on components of a person’s social identity, which includes age, race and gender.
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
