The recent shooting in Tulsa our Black community is deeper than Black-on-Black crime.
This is a **mental health/illness** and "trauma response issue".

It starts at home with what our children *see*.
Children learn how to manage stress, solve problems, and regulate their emotions by observing their parents. Key word: **watching**. If parents are overwhelmed, angry, shut down, or emotionally unavailable, children internalize that as their blueprint for life.

**A trauma response** is how the mind and body learn to survive in unsafe, chaotic, or emotionally painful environments. It can show up as anger, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, lashing out, shutting down, or even detachment.

Over **90% of the behaviors we see in our community are trauma responses**, but most of us have no idea.
Because many of us were never taught what mental health really means, we were just taught to **keep going**.
And now weโ€™re raising kids in that same survival cycle.

**Black people, please**
Get a mental health therapist who looks like you.
Get someone who understands the weight of generational trauma and can help you walk into healing, not just survival.

We deserve better. Our children deserve better.
Letโ€™s break this cycle, not repeat it. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ–ค

Part 1 Are you or were you a Narcissistic mother? Is your mother a narcissist?
Narcissistic mothers can have a profound impact on their children due to their need for control, attention, and validation. A mother with narcissistic tendencies often prioritizes her own needs over her child's, leading to a range of emotional and psychological consequences for the child. Here are some characteristics commonly associated with narcissistic mothers:

1. Lack of Empathy:
Narcissistic mothers often struggle to empathize with their children's emotions, focusing instead on how situations affect them. This can leave the child feeling unseen and unsupported.
2. Control and Manipulation:
These mothers tend to be highly controlling and manipulative, using guilt, blame, or withholding affection to achieve their goals. They may also attempt to control significant life decisions for their children.
3. Enmeshment and Boundaries Issues:
A narcissistic mother may not respect her child's boundaries and may treat the child as an extension of herself. This can lead to emotional enmeshment, where the child's identity and desires become subsumed by the motherโ€™s needs and expectations.
4. Perfectionism and Criticism:
Children of narcissistic mothers may experience constant criticism and unreasonable expectations. This can create a sense of inadequacy and a feeling that love is conditional upon meeting the mother's demands.

Here's a helpful mental health tip for today!
Getting enough rest is crucial since the glymphatic system kicks into gear while you sleep. What exactly is the glymphatic system? Thanks for asking! The glymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins that accumulate in our brains throughout the day. Lack of sufficient sleep can disrupt the glymphatic system's function, resulting in various issues for the brain, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, concentration difficulties, and other cognitive impairments. Don't forget to prioritize your rest!
