My Journal, an Auntie Therapist's Resiliency Resource for High-Performing Black Women- Journaling about your daily trauma is scientifically proven to help mitigate your anger at the galling injustice of those daily microaggressions and sets you on the path to resolving the negative impact on your mental and physical health. Documenting your trauma events both confirms that it is indeed legitimately traumatizing and gives your brain a place to release your ruminating thoughts. (Journaling is also a way to chronicle discriminatory events as potential evidence with the specificity of dates and times, should you choose to pursue legal resolution. )
