Thank You also Allison,
I think your use of the construct "cultural humility" is quite similar to what those of us 'trained' in the [trauma-informed/'Risking Connection' Intentional Peer Support model] refer to as: "World View", "Mutuality", and "Active Listening".
I think my college counselor and I shared 'similar' 'life-threatening events' - which allowed us each to "Risk Connection", even though the differences of those 'life-threatening events' took place, under circumstances that were 'accepted' of military combatants, and "not [socially] accepted" according to the 'prevailing socio-cultural ethos/values, of the time (Nixon and Rockefeller administrations, U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee [see the testimony of American Correctional Chaplains' Association president Fr. James T. Collins' testimony proposing 'maxi-maxi' security prisons for 'hard-core militant prisoners'-where they'd be locked in the cells 23 1/2 hours per day]).
Having been adjudicated a "Youthful Offender" [supposedly no public 'criminal record'], I didn't want to 'internalize' the label "Ex-Con", and spent a period of my incarceration reading Eric Erickson's "Identity: Youth and Crisis". I passed an FBI/NCIC background check, to qualify to be a VISTA Volunteer [domestic 'Peace Corps'] - while I was still incarcerated. I served my first VISTA term [on parole] with an OEO ['Poverty Law'] Legal Services project, having first worked there as an investigator just before I started VISTA, then as a paralegal during my VISTA term.
I didn't start college until about eight years later-after I'd completed a second term in VISTA-three years after my first term, in a different state. The undergrad college program I had enrolled in, had a Thesis requirement at the time, which they subsequently changed to a 'project in community development' requirement, because 'too many of the undergrads in the program were experiencing what faculty later referred to as "Dissertation Psychosis". The median age of people in that program, at the time, was 39 years of age--most of whom were already working in "Human Services" positions at the time.
At the time of my 'referral' to the college counselor, I may have been contending with [both 'dissertation psychosis', and] what later became known as an "Anniversary Date reaction" by people contending with certain 'symptoms' within the earlier diagnostic construct of 'PTSD'. When the 'Thesis requirement' for All undergrads in my program, was changed to a 'project in community development', and the 'anniversary date' had passed, I suspect my [and my fellow undergrad thesis writers] "symptoms" at that time, subsided.
