Decolonising Trauma
Welcome to Decolonising Trauma, where I aim to shake up the way we think about healing, trauma, and transformation. This podcast was birthed in order to shed light on alternative perspectives that contribute to our collective wellbeing.
As a curious rebel and a fellow traveller on this transformative journey, I want to inject a different tone and a fresh vibration into these conversations.
Decolonisation isn't just about historical colonisation; it's about reclaiming our narratives and healing practices. But this podcast isn't exclusive. It's a space for dialogue, unity, and transformation for everybody. To solve problems, we must first shift our mindsets and foster connection.
I firmly believe that we can't make progress by sticking to the same old paths; sometimes, a little rebellion is necessary to pave the way for something greater. Join me to explore the unconventional ways in which we can transform our individual and collective trauma.
Get ready to challenge paradigms and embrace a future of joy and liberation.
Decolonising Trauma
Separating race from colonialism
Ooooft.... I don't know what I did in a past life to sign up and navigate these topics, yet I am here for it!!!
I get totally uncomfortable in this episode as I explore in real time my own thoughts on race and it's relationship with colonialism.
I share some of the immediate themes I came across in my early days of researching trauma theories and the origins of what it meant to be traumatised, then known as being 'shell-shocked'
I dive into the gradual return of trauma into the social construct that went beyond active duty PTSD.
I truly believe when we know different, we can get creative in how we show up in the world. My hope is that in listening to this episode, you get rebelliously curious and lean in to learn more of the non-dominant narrative
