“Oh, it’s nothing,” or, “It’s okay, you’re busy and I don’t want to bother you,” is one thing when you are recovering from arthritis pain, and something else entirely when being hospitalized for something serious. Why is it that brown parents downplay their suffering toward their children, and how has that affected our ability to reach out to others as the next generation? Join the Jilted Indians as we talk generational trauma with friend of the pod and LMFT, Shameela Keshavjee.

Puja caught herself and corrected herself to say “died by suicide” Why is that important? Because the suicide prevention movement has articulated that saying “commit suicide” makes it a crime/sin; when study after study has shown that suicides are attributed to a disease or disorder (mental illness).

Finally, we talk about it a lot put self-care and self-compassion are really necessary tools when healing from suffering.
