The Present Day Impact of Historical Trauma

This week I’m talking to Dr. Eleanor Gil-Kashiwabara, who is the founder and CEO of Luminosa Psychology Services. Eleanor is a licensed psychologist and has done extensive work in tribal communities. She also conducts training on diversity, equity, inclusion, and racism. Eleanor is passionate about helping people be comfortable in the space they occupy. She also advocates for creating avenues and services that everyone can access. In this week’s show, she talks about the intersection of racism and intergenerational trauma. More psychologists of color need to be brought into this field, Eleanor says. There aren’t enough people who understand the effects of historical trauma and who can provide services in marginalized communities.
