Summary:
"On the heels of Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and Shonda Rhimes’ The Year of Yes comes a highly engaging work from a respected clinical psychologist which turns the conventional cultural myth of being a strong
black
woman on its head. Many
black
women
have endured physical, sexual, and
emotional
abuse, domestic violence, pregnancy-related trauma, loss, and abandonment. Rather than admitting their pain --
seen
as a sign of weakness --
black
women
mask their troubles behind the façade of being “strong” and ever capable of handling everything for themselves and those around them.
Nobody
Knows
the
Trouble
I
Have
Seen
helps
women
understand the high price they pay for wearing a mask of strength and provides a framework for healing.
Black
women
deprive themselves of experiencing a full range of emotions and tend to hang on to anger and hurt which simmer. This leads to feelings of shame, loneliness, and other negative emotions that test their mental health. In addition,
black
women
are less likely to acknowledge their mental health needs or to seek mental health treatment, increasing their risks for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal thoughts which can lead to debilitating physical problems, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Combining the latest research with her personal story and those of family members and clients, Dr. Inger Burnett-Zeigler reveals that a life of joy is possible, and discusses outlets for support, including mental health treatment, the church and spirituality. Her illuminating work gives the phrase, “I am a strong
black
woman” a whole new meaning, while letting
women
know they are not alone in their suffering."--Publisher.
