Need a longread to occupy you this weekend? Feeling a little too good? I have just the lovely but sobering essay for you! newrepublic.com/article/1753...
No harm at this scale is equally distributed, a point that van der Kolk was surely weighing when he discounted the idea of collective trauma. Poor people, people of color, queer people, single people, disabled people, and the very young and the very old bore (and will always bear) a disproportionate share of the pain that wracks us. These are traumas at the individual level in numbers so large that they demand national attention because there are national consequences—think of the nationwide therapist shortage and “the Great Resignation.” So, what if the reason so many people identify as trauma survivors is that they are? What if the horrors of the last seven years do translate into a nation that is suffering more than mere political dysfunction? What if the polarization, paranoia, conspiracism, and hopelessness that bog us down have a more holistic origin than structural malfunctions or individual malfeasance? What if our entire national character is a trauma response?

The pandemic. The mass shootings. Insurrection. Trump. We've been through so much. What if our entire national character is a trauma response? From @anamariecox.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1753...
We Are Not Just Polarized. We Are Traumatized.
