In my research with high functioning depress!on, different generations may express or NOT express feelings based on their unique experiences and collective trauma. ā¤ļøāš©¹
The first step to healing in my book is validation of feelings and experiences. š«
Hereās what Iāve observed in my research:
š§ Baby Boomers (post-war generation born in 1946-1964): Donāt often acknowledge psychological pain and are more comfortable expressing pain by bodily complaints and aches.
š°Generation X (capitalist and competitive generation born in 1965-1979): often worship materialistic things and consume things in excess. Gen X more readily embrace spa retreats and high intensity workouts over therapy. They define happiness with material items.
š» Millennials (raised during the age of the internet, born in 1980-1996): have a search for never ending knowledge and often challenge the status quo. They started to question the previous generations materialistic values and were instead in pursuit of truth and wisdom.
š±Generation Z (digital natives born 1997-2012): were born with smart phones and thrive in social networks. They are the most open about mental health issues and often find happiness when their community is happy.
*Everyone has a unique perspective and identity and just because you were born in a specific generation doesnāt mean you identify with the majority in your age group*
