What happens when you absorb the oppressive messages about you?

This is very common and I see it everyday in therapy. We start believing it’s our own voice and beliefs, but that’s part of the gimmick! Resisting these internalized beliefs is a heavy lift, and can be very exhausting (as you’re constantly pushing up against cultural messages to not think otherwise). But on the other side is more confidence and freedom.

Keep resisting. ✊🏾

This post expands and explains on my previous point: “The patriarchy harms men but within a patriarchal society, men are not oppressed.”

A practical way to dismantle the patriarchy is to unlearn your conditioned biases. Take any of the beliefs in one of these points and do/believe the opposite.

And when I tell you that this year came for my neck 😮‍💨😩 I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for people without resources and privilege.

Vote like our healing (and our humanity) depends on it. Because it does. 🗳️☑️

What else would you add?

We process so much in a (religious) trauma session! These are just a few of the themes I see. It’s deep, hard work because you’re examining your core beliefs and deciding what you will continue to believe and what belief you have outgrown.

As the therapist, I don’t decide anything for a client. They decide, and I support in ways that will help them go in the direction they want to go.

This is a call for Christian’s to have better standards. And I’m thinking specifically of people who support people like Trump and Charlie Kirk. Don’t you care that entire people groups are put off by your beliefs because the people sharing it are awful towards those peoples’ communities? Or do you not care because the people groups most impacted are Black people, trans people, and gay people?

Stop supporting just anyone simply because they are saying the words you want to hear. Pay attention to their character, to whether or not they’re causing harm, and to who they are excluding. A belief system built on exclusion is harmful and elitist.

People matter and they deserve a more thoughtful delivery on what you’re wanting them to believe.

Any type of dysfunctional system is going to want to silence you when you speak up (this includes speaking up about family trauma, racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc etc etc).

Silence is beneficial to dysfunction because it allows it to continue on, unobstructed. This is why it’s important to use your voice and speak up/not be neutral on things. When you are silent on anything that is dysfunctional, you are siding with (and perpetuating) dysfunction.

Of course there are instances where speaking up can put you in danger… and not speaking up is also dangerous.

One thousand versions of Wheels on the Bus already exist, but we wanted a Ms. Rachel version!!! 🎉

Someone has already done what you wanted to do? Do it anyway. Your voice and your perspective will reach a different set of people that only YOU can reach. They’re waiting to hear it from your voice.
