White therapists, counselors, social workers, etc!!

June is National PTSD Awareness Month! Please do not forget that the BIPOC community faces higher rates of PTSD compared to White Americans. This is in part due to racial trauma.

If you’re looking to begin to learn more about this, HERE is a link to a general APA article that has an overview. Below is a short quote from the article that I found important:

"Many White people are socialized to demonstrate non-racist values by not talking about race. However, this approach leaves such clinicians ill-equipped to have conversations about race with their clients of color, and so it is even less likely they will be able engage in productive conversations surrounding traumatic experiences of racism."

Please also check out the UConn Racial/Ethnic Stress & Trauma Scale (UnRESTS).

When I started this blog I was a part time feminist who believed in the word in theory and called myself one because why wouldn’t I but I never really delved into actual feminist theory.  I started here because I needed to find a community and support and strength to leave an abusive man and I did find it until I started speaking my mind more openly.  I then got attacked for it in the midst of me trying to leave my ex so I did everything i could to try and apologize and not offend anyone and be inclusive yada yada yada because I really did need the community I had joined and i couldn’t handle the anxiety of added conflict.  Now though, I’ve been on my own for almost two years, I am not scared to say what I want and I realized that my former brand of feminism from 2014ish when I started here is completely useless.  Sorry for long time followers who’s ideology may now be different than mine, I don’t have any issue with people unfollowing because I would rather have a small community with open minded people who are able to critically analyze things than a large community who just accept spoon fed information without actually thinking about the truth or repercussions of that information.

Mocha: Chcolate syrup and espresso with steamed milk and whipped cream.
Cappucino: Espresso with the cup filled halfway with milk and the other half foam Latte: Espresso with steamed milk and topped with foam. Macchiato: Vanilla syrup, steamed milk with foam, espresso shots poured over the foam, and marked with a syrup. Please don't ever order a Cappucino "but with only an inch of foam", a Mocha Caramel Latte or some other bastardized variation unless you want to psychologically harm your barista.
