Trauma Is What Happens In You, NOT To You Evan Leong and Craig Chong discuss the nuanced concept of trauma, referencing Resmaa Menakem’s book ""My Grandmother's Hands."" They explore how trauma is an internal experience shaped by external events, emphasizing that it’s the unhealed, internalized aftermath of experiences, rather than the events themselves, that constitutes trauma. The discussion extends to how trauma, when decontextualized, can manifest as cultural norms, family traits, personal behaviors, and even organizational cultures. This conversation offers a profound understanding of trauma’s deep-rooted impact on individuals and societies, urging viewers to reconsider how we perceive and address the effects of traumatic experiences. #GGRClips #GreaterGoodRadio #ConnectLearnHealGrow #InspirationalInterviews #Hawaii #Relationships #PositiveImpact #AlohaSpirit #CraigChong #TraumaAwareness #HealingJourney #MentalHealth #CulturalImpact Evan Leong Craig Chong WATCH the FULL VIDEO 👉 https://lnkd.in/gTwxC_Cq

This time of year, we receive many inquiries from psychologists seeking to join AAPi. One of the key questions, whether stated or implied, is why they should join AAPi. It’s always a pleasure to connect with so many new members, to learn about them and their journey, discuss what isn’t working for them, and let them know who we are and what we offer. Along with our super low membership fees, extensive free CPD, resources, journals and guides, our key point of difference is our responsiveness to our members, our inclusive community and our advocacy. AAPi was founded with a clear and compelling mission: to advocate for and support the diverse needs of all psychologists. We strive to ensure that every psychologist has the resources, support, and advocacy to thrive professionally and personally. This commitment is reflected in our advocacy efforts, which focus on: • Fair and Equitable Funding • Access to Services • Professional Development • Support and Advocacy AAPi stands out among professional associations for our unique approach to advocacy and support. We believe embracing the full psychological practice spectrum can create a stronger, more inclusive community. This manifests in several key ways: • Inclusivity • Member-Driven Advocacy • Holistic Support • Collaborative Community AAPi remains steadfast in our mission to advocate for and support all psychologists. We will continue championing policies and initiatives that promote fair funding, equitable access to services, and professional growth. Our commitment to unity and diversity remains at the core of everything we do. Together, we can build a future where all psychologists are valued and have the tools, support, and resources they need to succeed, from the student stage through retirement and beyond. I want to say a special thank you to our members who participated in a PHN focus group this week to help shape multidisciplinary care and our neurodiversity steering committee for their contribution to educational materials. We deeply appreciate your time and expertise. Read the full update: https://ow.ly/VW8950SmVeB
