In this series, we break down the impact of displacement, instability, violence, and trauma in children, and offer exercises to support children in their healing journey.
Dr. Patricia Gerbarg, assistant clinical professor in psychiatry, explains the importance of children being able to understand and explain their emotions. Children who have gone through traumatic events may not know how to make sense of their feelings. They can experience guilt, fear, and confusion and need help figuring out those emotions.
