NAMI Michigan Honors
We are proud to announce that
MI Healthy Mind was nominated and recognized as A Hero of Mental Health!
It’s Time To Remove The Stigma: Let’s Talk About It!
MI Healthy Mind is a 30-minute TV talk show with a focus on all things Health and Wellness, particularly in the mental health and behavioral sectors. Seasoned hosts, Elizabeth Atkins and Michael Hunter explore a vast range of subjects (addiction,
depression, bipolar, autism etc) with valuable insights and lively conversation from popular entertainers, experts, athletes, and other newsmakers. But most important, MI Healthy Mind showcases real people, “the heroes” who have
overcome and triumphed over their mental health issues. In the wake of incredible loss, or adversity, these people found a way to turn personal tragedy into hope.
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller
Generational Trauma: Breaking the Cycle
The way we were brought up inevitably affects and helps shape the people we become. But, it is our duty to future generations – and to ourselves – to stop and evaluate any toxicity we may have experienced or witnessed as a child in order to break the cycle of generational trauma.
Generational trauma can occur when the unresolved trauma of a family member affects others, or when genetic predispositions to mental health or other issues are passed from generation to generation. Generational trauma is likely to continue throughout a family unless individuals make the conscious choice to address the root cause of their own trauma and actively work to resolve it, or learn to deal with genetic issues in a healthy manner.
This week we are honored to welcome Alexis Black back to the show to discuss the role generational trauma has played in her own family and life. Ms. Black is a third-generation victim of generational trauma. Her family has suffered several deaths by suicide, severe mental illness, violence, and substance abuse. Rather than succumb to the cycle of trauma, Ms. Black has chosen to break that cycle and learn to heal.
Dr. Lisa MacLean also joins us to explain how abuse and trauma can go unrecognized – even by the victims, themselves – when it is all they have ever known. She gives valuable advice on how to see and address trauma in your own life.
