Are you struggling with the effects of racial trauma?
Right now, you might be experiencing:
- High Anxiety and Depression: Persistent anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress.
- Marginalization at Work: Feeling marginalized and oppressed in the workplace, impacting your professional life.
- Feeling “Othered”: A constant sense of being “other” in many environments.
- Isolation and Loneliness: A deep sense of loneliness and isolation, feeling disconnected from those around you.
- Overwhelming Pressures: Internal and external pressures that feel relentless and exhausting.
You’ve started to recognize how unresolved racial trauma is impacting your life:
- Social Withdrawal: You’re isolating more and more because relationships feel exhausting and draining, costing you both professionally and personally.
- Shame and Guilt: You feel a pervasive sense of shame and guilt, accompanied by critical inner voices.
- Constant Anger: You’re angry nearly all the time, highly irritable, and find yourself snapping at loved ones, pushing people away.
- Emotional Exhaustion: You feel exhausted from the enormous energy it takes to navigate invisible stressors and microaggressions, leaving you feeling weary.
You’re wondering…
- Is racial trauma even treatable?
- How can therapy address what’s wrong systemically?
- Is it possible for me to work with a therapist who’s also a POC so I know they truly understand?
- Can trauma therapy actually help me?
You’re longing for…
- Skilled Support: Evidence-based support to treat the trauma impacts you’re living with.
- Understanding and Connection: The chance to work with a therapist who actually gets it and is a POC themselves.
- Therapeutic Validation: Therapy that talks about systemic bias, injustice, and racism as much as feelings.
- Genuine Confidence: A sense of confidence and esteem—not the fake kind, but the real, unshakeable kind.
- Culturally Sensitive Care: To work with a therapist who provides culturally sensitive therapy with interest and respect for your unique culture and experiences.
What you’re longing for is possible.
At Evergreen Counseling, we have a team of seasoned, evidence-based, POC trauma-trained therapists skilled in treating racial trauma.
Imagine the Transformation Through Trauma Therapy
By pursuing trauma therapy for racial trauma, you can imagine:
Before Therapy
After Therapy
A dysregulated nervous system—you feel locked into fight, flight, and freeze all day long.
A more regulated nervous system—fewer texts or relational conflicts will feel like a five-alarm fire.
Reliance on self-sabotaging behaviors to numb painful feelings—substances, compulsive behaviors, or other choices with negative impacts.
The ability to face and tolerate your feelings, dealing with them more skillfully.
Profound weariness and fatigue from constantly navigating microaggressions and invisible stressors.
Reclaimed energy and more capacity to tolerate the systemic stressors of life.
Isolation, withdrawing from important relationships because they’re too draining.
Feeling closer and more connected to your therapist and to the important relationships in your life.
