Flee North is a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of Thomas Smallwood, an American abolitionist, liberator, and writer who led hundreds out of slavery and named the underground railroad. Born into slavery, Smallwood was free and self-educated by the 1840s. He and Charles Torrey organized mass escapes from Washington, Baltimore, and surrounding counties to freedom in the north. Smallwood documented the escapes in satirical newspaper columns, mocking slaveholders, traders, and police. The book offers a powerful narrative set in cities still plagued by racial inequity today.

    Play Therapy - Helping Children...

    Play is a fundamental aspect of childhood, serving as a natural medium through which children explore the world, express emotions, and develop essential skills. For children facing emotional, social, or psychological challenges, play becomes more than just a recreational activity; it transforms into a powerful tool for healing and growth. Play therapy harnesses the innate creativity and spontaneity of play to address a wide range of difficulties, offering children a safe and supportive environment to work through their struggles. 
    Unlike traditional talk therapies, which often rely on verbal communication, play therapy meets children where they are developmentally. Young children may lack the vocabulary or emotional insight to articulate their feelings, but through play, they can communicate their inner world in ways that feel natural and unthreatening. Whether through drawing, role-playing, or using toys as symbolic representations, children can express thoughts and emotions they might not be able to convey otherwise. 
    The importance of play therapy lies in its ability to bridge gaps in communication and understanding. It provides a structured yet flexible framework in which children can explore difficult experiences, such as trauma, grief, or anxiety, at their own pace. In this therapeutic space, children are empowered to make choices, solve problems, and build resilience. These experiences not only help them process current challenges but also equip them with skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

    Psychological trauma refers to the emotional, mental, and psychological injury that results from an overwhelming or distressing event. Unlike physical trauma, which can often be seen and treated directly, psychological trauma is more subtle, affecting the mind and emotions in profound ways. It can arise from various experiences, such as accidents, violence, abuse, loss, or even long-term stressors. The effects of trauma are far-reaching and can impact an individual’s life for many years, manifesting in different forms depending on the person’s resilience, support system, and coping mechanisms. 
    At its core, trauma can alter an individual's perception of the world, themselves, and their relationships. It often creates a sense of helplessness, loss of control, and an inability to feel safe or secure. The distress from trauma can be so severe that it leads to lasting mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional disorders. Understanding the nature of psychological trauma involves recognizing how these experiences affect the brain and the body. Trauma is not merely an emotional reaction; it is a complex response involving neurological, biological, and psychological processes. The brain’s response to trauma can involve changes in brain structures and functions, particularly in areas like the amygdala (responsible for processing emotions) and the hippocampus (which processes memories). These changes can result in heightened fear responses, emotional instability, and difficulty processing memories related to the traumatic event. 
    Furthermore, trauma is often misunderstood or underestimated due to the invisible nature of its impact. While a broken bone is easily visible and can be treated, the effects of trauma are not always immediately apparent.
