Priority to BIPOC, Indigenous people and peers / people with lived and living experience. Register here: www.tickettailor.com/events/vikkireynolds/660590 December 5-6 9am - 12pm Pacific / 12pm - 3pm Eastern 10% of proceeds to Tiny House Warriors Vikki will share stories of practice and acts of resistance that inspire hope, describing activist-informed ways of responding to suffering in persons who have been oppressed and harmed. This approach centres on witnessing folks’ wise and creative acts of resistance. Justice-doing and a decolonizing stance for the work is required to resist psychology’s neutrality and objectivity that often blames people for their own suffering from oppression. A witnessing approach requires that we situate personal suffering in its sociopolitical context and resist the individualization and medicalization of suffering as ‘trauma’ and other mental illnesses. This online workshop offers a justice-doing response to ‘trauma’, oppression, violence and suffering. It will address: - A decolonizing and justice-doing ethical stance - Resist individualization, objectivity and neutrality of trauma industry - Witnessing stance informed by direct action activism - Understandings of acts of resistance - Stories from practice Vikki Reynolds PhD RCC Trainer, Consultant, Clinical Supervisor, Adjunct Professor Vikki is an activist/therapist and a white settler on the unceded territories of the xwm Okw y m (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and S lílw ta?/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
