Quote of the Month: December 2018 - Mindy Fullilove

Quote of the Month (12/18):
"Root shock is the traumatic stress reaction to the destruction of all or part of one's emotional ecosystem...The experience of root shock - like the aftermath of a severe burn does not end with emergency treatment, but will stay with the individual for a lifetime. In fact, the injury from root shock may be even more enduring than a burn, as it can affect generations and generations of people."
