We share what we learned from the recent ISSTD Virtual Conference on the Impact of Societal Trauma on Marginalized Communities.  We share about the different topics and speakers and what we experienced.  We share what Ellen K. Jepsen, PhD, from Norway taught about tolerating positive feelings.  We introduce other speakers for marginalized populations that will be coming on the podcast in future episodes.  We share about the critical understanding about relational trauma and shame, and how that broadens our understanding of trauma.  Reference only in topic listing to child trafficking and to racial trauma, but no details or discussion.
