Decolonising Psychotherapy Webinar: Presented by Helen Morgan and Juliet Newbigin - 25/07/2020 

A compelling presentation well worth considering I want to invite you to continue to post these seminal presentations

There was also a good discussion organised with Divine Charura and Colin Lago on human diversity in the past few months. It highlighted the importance of being curious about the lived experience of people and trusting them for being their own best expert. If it is true for them, it is true, as one of my mentors says. Start from how you feel when you hear this...I loved what Frank Lowe said. Such an interesting and thought-provoking conference. Thank you.

Frank is so on point 😊👍🏾

What people espouse within a social group, where social acceptance is significant, is often very different from their depth belief. There is often a powerful need within the human mind for a vehicle that carries the repressed and unknown aspects of the psyche and racism seems to serve this function. Simple changing the conscious architecture may actually have little effect without a better knowledge, exploration and integration of the hidden and repressed aspects of the psyche. This process of discovery is unavailable to most people who have neither the resources, interest or aptitude to pursue it. The explosion and popularity of extremist political movements only too clearly illustrates that we are not, in many ways, owners but simple passing tourists in our own internal psychic landscape who marvel at the natural beauty of the countryside but do not see the hidden poverty, squalor and violence. Having said that, change and growth are always possible but there are also many paths open to enlightenment. Unfortunately the great majority are dead ends or paths that terminate with mirrors giving the illusion of depth but actually benefiting the few who are willing to learn from their own reflection......so life is certainly never dull!

Looking at her more recent twaddle it has to be restated, the remedy for past racism is never more racism. I actually cannot believe that her racist titled book will soon be infesting the shelves of our University book shops...is it a sales tactic?

The guilt is heavy in these broads. That does make sense since they are in the world's most privileged class of people: softly-educated, leftist, white women in western culture.
