The Why Of It All #28 The Psychology of Collective Trauma

In this episode of The Why Of It All, Melanie and Gina explore the ever more frequent Collective Trauma Events plaguing our society. They dive into how these pivotal events reshape not just policy but the way we think, feel, and treat each other. They start out by reflecting on three major events they’ve personally lived through (9/11, COVID, and the recent Charlie Kirk assassination) before pivoting to an informative exploration of the sometimes-agenda-driven narratives around Collective Trauma events, followed by the widespread psychological impacts of them. The episode closes with practical tools to support our mental and emotional wellbeing during and after these ground-shaking and social-turmoil-inducing events.
