The Collective Trauma

Collective trauma refers to a traumatic event that is shared by a group of people--and we've had lots over the past year. A pandemic, racial injustices, shooting, a snow storm in Austin are all examples of things we went through together. While a group of people all experience the same thing, individual responses can vary due to peoples histories and past traumas. A trauma can also affect a certain group of people, for example, Black Americans experiencing collective trauma and grief after numerous cases of gun violence in the past year toward Black Americans. People don’t necessarily need to have experienced the event first-hand in order to be changed by it. Watching the events unfold on the news can be traumatic, for example, especially when a person is continuing traumatized by similar things over and over.
