When we’re talking about PTSD we’re really talking about one incident, you know, so we’re talking about a rape, a car accident. You know something unexpected that has been harmful. And when we look at the experience of Indigenous people often there are multi traumatic incidents across the lifespan, and and crossing generations to and when we look at what have happened within our families intergenerationally.
