TRAUMAS OF OPPRESSION, WHERE ARE WE?

SLIDE 3

REPLAYING BEHAVIOR, UNCONSCIOUSLY

  • Learning how to read, relating to the words on the page
  • Learning how to relate to my feelings, based on how I was taught (anxiety

example)

  • Learning how to relate to white structures

– Inferior acting

  • Learning how to relate to Black people

– Superior acting

  • A “dynamic”, not one side or another

SLIDE 4

MINDFULNESS: A SOLUTION

  • Oppressive dynamics are an issue of unconsciousness or

lack of full contact with the present moment, failing to notice: –Generational patterns of relating that DON’T work –Suffering we cause ourselves by not speaking our truth –Suffering we cause others by only allowing our own truth

  • Mindfulness practice increases our contact with the

present moment.
