Welcome to the Colombian Influence Book Club! We are diving into chapter 8 of the Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child, written by Nancy Verrier.
Chapter 8 sparks the conversation surrounding mental health issues for adoptees, and common issues adoptees may feel. Often these mental health challenges lead to identity issues, which we also touch on in this discussion.

S2E34 - Book Club: Primal Wound Chapter 9

“Why am I like this? Where did I come from? Why can’t any of these Minnesotans properly cut and style my curly hair?!”

This barely brushes the surface when it comes to an adoptee making their way through life.

There are few resources for people like Erika & Resa, so they created their own.

Initially as co-workers, they discovered they were from the same orphanage in Bogota, Colombia.

Despite the similarity, they have very different stories, and have become like sisters through this connection to their roots.
They will interview family, friends, each other, and dive into the psychological impact of adoption from all angles.
Any and all questions are welcome, as the hosts will teach their audience how to appropriately practice this conversation in the future.
