Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen

A Northwestern University clinical psychologist challenges common cultural misconceptions to reveal the real-world systemic abuse, health traumas, and abandonment that disempower today's Black women and force them to hide behind masks of strength. An estimated eight in ten Black women have endured some form of trauma-- sexual abuse, domestic abuse, poverty, childhood abandonment, regular confrontation with racism and sexism. Burnett-Zeigler shows that trauma can contribute to stress, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Unaddressed it can lead to hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, overeating, and alcohol and drug abuse, and other chronic health issues. Her book shows Black women how to prioritize the self and find everyday joys in self-worth, as well as discover the fullness and beauty within both her strength and vulnerability. -- adapted from jacket
