#embodiedantiracism

Looking forward to tomorrow’s guest lecture for @hlthyattachment #dianepooleheller ‘s intergenerational trauma course and #therapymastermindcircle alongside fabulous presenters like @internalfamilysystems Dock Schwartz and @markwolynn Training Session with Francesca Maximé Your Deepest Self is Already Connected At times, the things we do with the most loving intentions have an impact we didn’t anticipate. Being open to learning in those moments, instead of retreating into defensiveness, sets the stage for embodiment and attunement, and healing collective systemic trauma. Francesca Maximé offers guidance for light- and white-skinned therapists in exploring social location, power, privilege and equity. She teaches the difference between equality, equity and reality, what liberation and embodied connection could look like, and shares valuable resources for personal anti-racism work. http://Www.therapymastermindcircle.com #mindfulness #embodiedantiracism #therapy #healing #trauma #intergenerationaltrauma #ptsd #healingintergenerationaltrauma https://www.instagram.com/p/CIwulnuARjk/?igshid=kw6ajcm5xseb

In this keynote, antiracism educator and somatic psychotherapist Francesca Maximé will guide us through her own personal journey of how mindfulness, somatic nervous system regulation practices and neuroscience psychoeducation became the needed trifecta to move from feelings of shame and unworthiness to courageous, collaborative and compassionate empowerment. Join Francesca for this one-of-a-kind experiential keynote: cultivating a courageous heart: using mindfulness to become and embodied antiracist therapist and helping professional. 🌺🌺🌺 Learn: - Basic mindfulness principles to scaffold against falling into a shame spiral or defensiveness when discussing issues around race - Basic nervous system regulation techniques to know when you’re triggered physiologically and you’re able to bring yourself back to awareness and respond with pause, space, and discernment - Definitions: Unpacking terminology: whiteness, white body supremacy, privilege, white fragility, white saviorism, an centering/de-centering -Social Location and positionally: Where are you in the system of white privilege? Understanding racism as power plus privilege; recognizing systemic oppression and individual racism as both impacting unconscious and conscious learnings -Skillbuilding: Humility, grace and mercy for self and others as a portal to compassionate connection and action -Perspective: Shifting from “me” to “we” and the illusion of separateness #embodiedantiracism #maximeclarity #francescamaxime #rerooted https://www.instagram.com/p/CH1KmTkgs7X/?igshid=1v07v8wq91lfv

Starts tomorrow! Link in bio. Pls join us - bring a friend🌸 https://therapywisdom.com/embodied-anti-racism/ I invite you to join a new course called Embodied Anti-Racism with Francesca Maximé. https://therapywisdom.com/embodied-anti-racism/ This is a new course that uses mindfulness principles and a body-oriented approach in the journey of becoming anti-racist therapists and helping professionals. This course has been in development for over a year, and we are so excited to finally open it to the public. Many of you have some understanding of somatic tools and the power of mindfulness practices. So it will be familiar to you when we use those resources to work with what comes up as we address racism in a deeper context. And we can all use this deepened awareness in order to offer our best to our clients—even if we don’t see many clients of color at the moment. In Francesca’s personal journey as a Haitian-Dominican Italian-American multiethnic woman, her spiritual mentor Jack Kornfield encouraged her down the path to becoming more enlightened about racism. During this journey, she unexpectedly discovered that mindfulness and somatic training have been invaluable allies... ...but trying to do this work alone is overwhelming. When we try to untangle the many knots of racism woven through the whole fabric of our society, many of us get stuck in our minds and feel alone in our thoughts, with no one to talk to who can help us sort them out. In this course, we will be creating a community for discussing our experiences, teasing apart our confusion, and sharing our struggles. Because in community, this work becomes so much easier. Too many other diversity and cultural competency courses fall short because they focus on trying to be “PC” instead of diving in and interrogating whiteness. I don’t want to simply tell you what you should do to be a non-racist—I want to guide you along your journey of discovering how to be an embodied anti-racist. As Michelle Obama said, “Make no mistake about it: There are still so many causes worth sacrificing for. There is still so much history yet to be made." #therapistsofinstagram #blacklivesmatter #embodiedantiracism https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkUDUcgoDK/?igshid=wka5logd8uix

👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼link in bio! 🌸🌸🌸 Only Two Days Left to Register for Embodied Anti-Racism with Francesca Maximé https://therapywisdom.com/embodied-anti-racism/ Some of you might be thinking, “Another course on racism? I’ve done training programs on this before. I don’t need another one.” Here’s the thing: This is not just another training on racism. Embodied Anti-Racism takes a completely different approach from other diversity and cultural competency courses. Embodied Anti-Racism [LINK] asks you to look at yourself, become more aware and connected, and discover the different parts of yourself. And for those of us who are white, it asks you to look at yourself as a racialized white being. We are not interested in being politically correct as much as we are interested in developing genuinely courageous hearts. #mindfulness #antiracism #embodiedantiracism #psychotherapy #therapistsofinstagram #therapy #blacklivesmatter #blm #wellbeing https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiSLoyAMEB/?igshid=1r509r0a0vahh
