FREE WEBINAR: Psychological Activism
To be a psychological activist is to keep track of what lies in the shadow of our individual and collective psychology. For the individual, that means to become more aware of what we hide and suppress about ourselves, including our power, privilege, and wounds. For the collective, that means to keep track of those that are marginalized as well as those that enjoy greater social power and privilege. As we become more awake about these shadows, we learn to bear witness to how historical abuses still live in the present as well as how they are dismissed and denied or victims are blamed. Doing this heals the shame that wraps itself around these abuses, bringing love, genuine light, and healing to a world hungry for awake people to stand up and be counted.
In this webinar, David will discuss four central aspects of activism:
1) How to bear witness to aggression and microaggression
2) How to stand in the fire of being challenged or accused
3) How to make diversity work a fast track to your personal development
4) How to be aware of your power and privilege
WHEN: Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017 from 7:00-8:15pm MT (9pm Eastern, 8pm Central, 6pm Pacific)
COST: Free, open to all
REGISTRATION: REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. David will email you the Zoom Video Conference link to connect with the webinar approximately 20 mins. before the webinar start time.
Hi David! Just heard you on New Dimensions, and was totally thrilled to find a kindred spirit. Actually brought tears to my eyes a couple times.
I am not a therapist, but I have been involved in a lot of self-work, as well as helping friends with their own struggles and development, and it is so cool to hear someone speaking my language! For me, it’s all about respecting and listening to and empowering all the voices coming from all the different layers of myself–loving rather than repairing.
Are you friends with Charles Eisenstein? Just curious.
I also appreciate the way you talk. It is emotional and direct and heart and gut-felt.
I am really looking forward to your webinar!
Hi Daniel! So glad you caught my interview on New Dimensions. I’m going to have another interview with Justine in early April for my 2nd book that just came out. Wonderful to hear we speak the same language that is loving rather than shaming. No, I’m not familiar with Charles Eisenstein. Looking forward to having you in my upcoming webinar! ~David
Hi, David! I stumbled across you by googling ‘shame’, then following some alternative article suggestions on psychologytoday.com. Like Daniel [above], IT IS wonderful to hear we speak the same language that is loving rather than shaming. I am one who suffered a severe trauma wound before my earliest memory, the pain of which has only been exacerbated by ‘shame conditioning’ throughout my life.
Thankfully, after 50+ years of life, I have begun to find healing [not just a ‘fix’] through love, and NOT through more shame or behavior modification. The loving approach is very personal and relational, which is what I have desperately needed in the depths of my soul.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this webinar, but keep me posted so that I can attend another, or view some archives!
Keep speaking our common language. There aren’t enough of us!
Craig, thanks for connecting! Wonderful to hear you are finding healing through love and not shame. You can watch several videos of me on YouTube and there is one in particular about shame that I think you would enjoy. Just search YouTube for “David Bedrick.” Be sure to sign up for my mailing list on my home page…that’s the best way to stay posted on my my events and webinars!
Looking forward to learning some new skills!
