Intergenerational Trauma and Patriarchal Stress Disorder

The Invisible Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment.

Dr Valerie Rein, psychologist and women’s mental health expert, discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder and how a history (the world's, not just ours) of oppression keeps women's nervous systems in hyper-activation, even when life seems perfect. For Dr. Rein, that was 4 degrees including a Master's and a PhD, a successful career, wonderful husband and daughter and picture perfect house in the suburbs. Until she ended up in the emergency room with stress-induced symptoms of a stroke.

Dr. Rein wrote the book, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment, accompanied by a podcast, blog, community and the "jailbreak curriculum" to help women heal the toxic effects of this epigenetic trauma.

Thank you for doing this video. This explains so many things that I have experienced and watched throughout my whole life and how oppression is affecting us, because we are told we are worth-less culturally. PSD patriarchy stress disorder, helps us makes sense of what is going on. Thanks for having Dr Valerie Rein on to explain this.

Patriarchy killed Afrika's humanity and keeps Afrika poor, existing as politics, religion and tribalism.

Explains the rampant anxiety inherent in Jews--waiting for the next pogrom. The rising anti-Semitism doesn't help.
