BONUS: Social oppression and internalized shame, with David Bedrick
Listen now
Description
"If you say to me, "this is what my ancestors experienced 200 years ago, 500 years ago, 20 years ago, 20 minutes ago." And I don't witness that, which means I say, "Come on, get over it, let it go. I can't believe you're still hanging on to that stuff." That's a shaming witness. When I do that, it completes the trauma bond. That's not a past trauma. That's a current trauma in the moment." -- David Bedrick My collaborator on the Shame Clinic, David Bedrick and I had an incredibly important conversation today. We discussed: (1) the difference between assault and shame, (2) what exactly a 'shaming witness' is in the context of oppression, and (3) how a 'shaming culture' is formed in a society that perpetuates trauma over and over again in present time; (4) and what it takes to heal. This is some of the most powerful teaching on the psychology of shame and oppression that I have ever encountered. Listen now. Register for the Shame Clinic today for deeper work on this.
