Listen "22. Feeling Unsafe"
Episode Synopsis
SummaryIn this episode, Tania and Elizabeth explore the evolving concepts of safety, harm, and trauma in today’s society. They discuss how feelings of being “unsafe” have become more common, even when there is no immediate physical threat, due in part to what psychologists call “concept creep”—the broadening of definitions for trauma and harm. They examine how generational differences, cultural shifts, and increased awareness of microaggressions contribute to this change. Drawing on research (including work by Kurt Gray), they reflect on how perceptions shape mental health, workplace expectations, and campus life. They emphasize the importance of nuanced conversations about harm—balancing individual needs and environmental support—to foster understanding and connection in a divided world.Show LinksOutraged by Kurt Gray: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/714327/outraged-by-kurt-gray/ Concept creep: “The Creeping Concept of Trauma”
