i think a lot of advice ive been given like "simply go do [x]!" by therapists/psychatrists to try and help me get better from my problems disorders that make existing in public or interacting with strangers feels nightmarishly frightening & overwhelming... well i think the advice sucks because they left out a really important thing.

& its this concept of the comfort zone & growth zone & danger zone. the comfort zone is comfortable & good for rest/recovery, but you stagnate if you stay there & you can't grow. growth zone is doing something a little challenging or scary. danger zone is when something is TOO challenging/scary and you shut down. you also can't grow there. but by going out into your growth zone regularly you actually expand your comfort zone so things feel less difficult & you can try more things that used to be too hard.

and i think that really helped me to distinguish between what is difficult but managable vs what is Too Much. and i really wish that it had been communicated to me that its not that i need to do a Specific Thing or do everything that's scary & difficult. so shoutout to the queer and trans resilience workbook by anneliese singh for actually giving helpful & compassionate advice :]

[reasoningdaily]

When the topic of racism comes up, I often think of a billboard in the small town of Harrison, Arkansas.

It was a sign promoting a white supremacist radio station called White Pride Radio. The sign's message, emblazoned next to the picture of a cute-looking white girl with a cute-looking dog, read "It's not racist to [heart] your people."

My takeaway: Even white supremacists don't want to be called racist.

Which might explain why, for people dedicated to fighting racism, simply saying you're "not racist" doesn't feel like quite enough. To effectively defeat systemic racism — racism embedded as normal practice in institutions like education and law enforcement — you've got to be continually working towards equality for all races, striving to undo racism in your mind, your personal environment and the wider world.

In other words, you've got to be anti-racist.

You may know me as NPR's TV critic. But I've also spent years exploring how systemic racism affects media and society. I've written a book about it, called Race-Baiter, and built a TEDx talk around how to talk about race across racial lines. As a Black man who speaks often on these subjects, I find race, racism and anti-racism to be things people think they know but often don't – at least, not as well as they think they do.

As the world continues to sort through a racial and civil rights reckoning kicked off by police killings of Black people like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, now more than ever, people want to know how to be anti-racist.

After talking to a few experts, I and the good folks at Life Kit have come up with a few suggestions.

Tip #1: Accept that we've all been raised in a society that elevates white culture over others. Being anti-racist will mean first challenging those notions inside yourself.

This was one of the most important takeaways from my conversation with Anneliese A. Singh, who just joined Tulane University as its first Associate Provost for Diversity and Faculty Development. She's also written a workbook on these issues called The Racial Healing Handbook.

"Everyone who lives in the United States kind of learns some form of anti-Black racism," Singh says. "I think we have to ask ourselves that question...How does anti-Black racism live within us?"

Singh calls white supremacy "white body supremacy," a term used by therapist Resmaa Menakem, as a way to emphasize how racism has a visceral, physical impact; elevating white bodies, and bringing trauma to non-white ones.

She suggests some people may even go through a process similar to the stages of grief — especially those who have privilege because of their white or light skin – when they uncover their unconscious bias and realize how extensively systemic racism affects their perspectives.

"I'm going to be in denial if I'm white or have light skin about how white supremacy works," she says. "[We'll move] through that denial into some anger...And then when we go into acceptance, I think then we can really leverage our lives to make a difference."

Tip #2: Learn the history of racism and anti-racism, especially in America, to educate yourself about the complexities of the issues you'll be confronting.

A glance at the 2020 bestseller lists reveals lots of great books on anti-racism, from Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracistto Layla Saad's Me and White Supremacy and Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility.

Most of them note that, for white folks, anti-racism involves learning to accept that white people have a racial culture, too. I've said white supremacy's greatest advantage is that white racial culture in America is often treated like it's invisible; not directly talked about among white people, some of whom joke that they have no culture.

Singh says people of color can benefit from similar study and introspection, with a particular focus on identifying and challenging any ideas that may breed colorism or contempt for other non-white groups. She calls this dynamic of elevating whiteness among non-white people, "internalized whiteness."

One important note for white people: When people of color share their experiences with white supremacy, believe them.

"I can't tell you how many people I've seen who claim to be anti-racist and care about building anti-racist organizations," Singh says. "But when people of color speak, they're like, 'Oh, well, they're doing it wrong.' Or 'That's one (person's experience).' You have an opportunity in that moment to believe what that person is saying."

Tip #3: Seek out films and TV shows which will challenge your notions of race and culture and dive in deeply, learning to see anti-racism in new ways.

So I wasn't that surprised when Justin Simien, creator of the Netflix drama Dear White People, told me viewership for his series jumped 600 percent after George Floyd's death sparked an international dialogue on anti-racism.

Dear White People centers on a group of non-white students at a mostly white, Ivy League college as they negotiate issues of identity, classism, anti-racism vs racism, homophobia and more. One poignant storyline features a young Black student, Reggie Green, who is nearly shot by a campus security guard at a party. Reggie then finds himself haunted by flashbacks of the traumatic event as well-meaning acquaintances attempt to check in on him.

Simien says the scenes with Reggie show, without lecturing the audience, how attempts to ask a Black person about racial trauma can sometimes backfire.

"The whole goal of it is for you to care so deeply about these [characters] that you don't realize you're being taught anything," he adds. "When you see that he had a gun pulled on him and he had this near-death experience, and now for the rest of the school year, everyone's coming up to him asking him, "Are you OK? Is there anything I can do?" You understand how that's not enough."

Simien suggests viewers pass up "feel good" TV shows and films showing indisputably virtuous Black people overcoming racism, often in the Jim Crow South, with help from well-meaning white people (in other words, skip screenings of The Help or Green Book.)

Well-made TV shows and films about anti-racism should be messier and much more provocative.

"You should feel challenged in some way by the piece because it's so subversive," Simien says. "[Racism is] ubiquitous and it's systemic and we can't see it...Racism lives in our collective blindspots. That's why it's so pernicious. So, there has to be a moment in the piece where you go, 'Oh! I didn't think about it like that.'"

The goal: to expose yourself to art that cuts through prejudices and stereotypes, allowing you to finally, fully see people of color.

"I had a friend put it this way," Simien says. "'We're inviting people to see us for the first time and it should break your heart that you haven't seen us yet'...That I have to interact with you through a character version of myself because I think you can't handle my daily truth. [That] should break your heart."

Tip #4: Find local organizations involved in anti-racism efforts – preferably led by people of color – and help uplift their voices and ideas.

She says learning to uplift non-white voices – even those who may disagree with you – is important for white people seeking to be anti-racist.

"Part of being an ally and part of letting go of privilege is, I think, putting yourselves in situations where you may be uncomfortable," Hatch adds. "You may have a different idea, but...you're actively working to support organizers and activists who have been thinking about these systemic problems for generations."

Also, Hatch says to be an effective anti-racist, you must assess your own power – where are the spheres where you can have the most influence?

Beyond the obvious strategy of confronting family and friends who may be racist, consider this: When you sit down at a PTA meeting at your child's school, which parents do you speak with and get to know?

At work, are you considering how procedures or strategies may advantage whiteness, and are you helping to challenge them?

Are you spending money with businesses that are owned by non-white people?

If you or a relative has a rental property, are you seriously considering applications from non-white people?

These are ways you can make a difference in your own environment, where you have power. Remember, anti-racism is about pushing past knowing better and instead actively doing better.

One thing is clear: Pulling all of this off takes a lot of energy and can feel overwhelming. And it doesn't help that one way people perpetuate systemic racism in America is by encouraging others to accept the status quo and reject many anti-racist ideas as too extreme.

But there is no better feeling than really making progress on working to build a better world. And these tips offer great ideas for starting on a long and rewarding road.

Above all, Color of Change's Hatch suggests keeping one, optimistic thing in mind.

"This is what winning looks like and feels like," she says of the current drive toward racial equity in law enforcement, politics, corporate America and elsewhere. "The moral arc of history is on our side and we are getting closer and closer every day to a culture that actually embraces the beauty and creativity of Black people in our lives."

Restorative Steps for Healing through Racial Trauma, Systemic Mis-attunement, and Grief

The past few weeks have given the world a glimpse inside the continuous reality of the existence of Black women and men in this country. It has allowed other groups to fathom racism’s impact on the minds and nervous systems of strangers, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family members who reside in Black bodies.

By default, it can be said that when Black, the nervous system remains in a constant sympathetic state of fight or flight. To remain in existence while Black, one must constantly pick up on triggering environmental cues and somatic signals that help guide us along routes focused solely on survival. Yet for Blacks, the sympathetic state, while effective at influencing critical decision-making and behavioral responses, is also a reminder of the absence of ease and safety. This absence of ease and safety highlights a form of complex trauma which can be defined as systemic mis-attunement.

Racial trauma is a result of pervasive exposure to prejudice and discrimination as a direct result of one’s skin color. Systemic mis-attunement is the direct result of society’s recurrent act of being dismissive and uncaring as to the basic physiological, emotional, psychological, and social needs of People of Color (i.e., Black people). The complex racial trauma lies in the constant exposure of mis-attunement that is often experienced by Blacks from birth. After all, Black newborns are “three times more likely to experience health complications or die within their first year, than white infants” (Florido 2019).  This is due to the nationwide health disparities that cause Black women to experience worse birth outcomes than any other racial and ethnic group (Villarosa 2018). 

With constant exposure to systemic mis-attunement since infancy, Blacks adopt survival strategies as armor towards a world that says everyone has a legitimate right to safety and care, but whose actions taken against Blacks over several centuries reflect the contrary. Survival strategies that Blacks often adopt to cope are:

Caution when expressing needs publicly.

Learning to unconsciously reject, minimize, or disconnect from needs if it means that these needs require help outside of one’s self and own community.

Trying to outrun fear of inadequacy through hyper-productivity and achievement; inadequacy as internalized by systemic mis-attunement experiences.

Immobilization or shutdown cycles within the nervous system as a result of the endless plight of endured racism and a sense of discouragement where the longing of safety is continuously unmet.

As we enter the month of June, Blacks continue to bear both the uncertainties of this global pandemic and of life expectancy due to the growing murder count of unarmed Black men, women, and children in the U.S. It’s important that resources are shared in support of navigating the cyclical healing journey of systemic mis-attunement and racial trauma. As a Black female therapist, I’ve noticed how restorative it can be to have an ongoing healing plan for dealing with grief, sadness, and anger related to current and past injustices faced by the Black community. Here are some useful practices that I sincerely hope can help all of us, as we cope through these difficult times:

Affirm and extend self-compassion by creating small practices throughout the day to consciously hold and release the many responses that are wrapped up in grief. An act of self-compassion is to allow your emotions a physical release to ensure that you do not hold on to violence.

Make an ongoing healing plan for grief, racial trauma, and systemic mis-attunement. It’s important that this healing plan reflect realistic expectations for yourself and your needs. It also helps to keep in mind that healing is cyclical, internal and external triggers will continuously resurface in life. Be flexible with yourself. Racial trauma and systemic mis-attunement are not experiences that you “get over”, they are deep wounds that take time, and unconditional care to heal.

Create intentional alone time to unplug from social media outlets, news, and talks with others. While these outlets (especially, while sheltering in place) can foster connectivity and increased awareness, they can also contribute to excessive amounts of stress on the nervous system. To regulate and bring restoration to the nervous system and soul, lie down on a hard surface, take on the feeling of becoming grounded, and simply allow yourself to be. Whether you’re taking notice to the silence, engaging in a guided meditation or simply using relaxation techniques, do as Rumi once said, “There is an inner voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

Take care of your mind and body by following a healthy sleep routine that is restorative, eat nutritious meals that strengthen your immune system, and engage in physical activity that allows your body to breathe. 

As you engage in this experiential work of racial activism, be gentle with yourself as you discover your role. Abstain from “should’s and could’s” or comparison to others. Attune to your own passion and let it draw you in the direction that better supports the cause. Also, support trusted local organizers against anti-Black racism. 

Create a good playlist. Audible inputs should validate your existence and the existence of those around you, affirm the inherent worth of Black bodies and your body, the resiliency of Blacks throughout history, and our right and your right to liberation.

Repeat. Regularly repeat steps 1-6.

Restorative Steps for Healing through Racial Trauma, Systemic Mis-attunement, and Grief

The past few weeks have given the world a glimpse inside the continuous reality of the existence of Black women and men in this country. It has allowed other groups to fathom racism’s impact on the minds and nervous systems of strangers, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family members who reside in Black bodies.

To the APA, Transgenderism is Fine but Masculinity is a Mental Illness

In 2015, the American Psychological Association released new guidance on how their members should work with people suffering from gender confusion. The first rule: They aren’t confused. Hell, they don’t even need to be treated for mental illness at all. No, in fact, it is YOU who are confused and ignorant. Ignorant as to the deep, rich history of transgender people in the United States and other cultures throughout the world!

“Psychologists who work with transgender or gender nonconforming people should seek to provide acceptance, support and understanding without making assumptions about their clients’ gender identities or gender expressions, according to practice guidelines adopted during the American Psychological Association’s 123rd Annual Convention,” the official website reported at the time.

They talked to the chairperson of the task force, Dr. Anneliese Singh.

“We hope that these guidelines provide useful information that will enable psychologists to provide competent, sensitive and well-informed care and research,” said Singh. “Additionally, they are written in everyday language so they may be helpful to virtually anyone seeking a deeper understanding of transgender and gender nonconforming people. It is critically important that psychologists are informed about how to not only work with transgender people across the lifespan, but also understand that transgender people have existed in multiple cultures and countries around the world for hundreds of years.”

Hmm, does this sound like guidance meant to get transgender patients the mental help they really need? Or does it sound like language carefully crafted to ensure that the APA does not fall afoul of the SJW leftists and the LGBT mafia?

Well, if you said the latter, you will not be surprised by the APA’s latest new guidelines, which aim to set standards for working with men and boys. The bottom line: Transgenderism may not be a mental illness, but masculinity absolutely is.

From the APA’s announcement:

For the first time ever, APA is releasing guidelines to help psychologists work with men and boys.

At first blush, this may seem unnecessary. For decades, psychology focused on men (particularly white men), to the exclusion of all others. And men still dominate professionally and politically: As of 2018, 95.2 percent of chief operating officers at Fortune 500 companies were men. According to a 2017 analysis by Fortune, in 16 of the top companies, 80 percent of all high-ranking executives were male. Meanwhile, the 115th Congress, which began in 2017, was 81 percent male.

But something is amiss for men as well. Men commit 90 percent of homicides in the United States and represent 77 percent of homicide victims. They’re the demographic group most at risk of being victimized by violent crime. They are 3.5 times more likely than women to die by suicide, and their life expectancy is 4.9 years shorter than women’s. Boys are far more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder than girls, and they face harsher punishments in school—especially boys of color.

APA’s new Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Boys and Men strive to recognize and address these problems in boys and men while remaining sensitive to the field’s androcentric past. Thirteen years in the making, they draw on more than 40 years of research showing that traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly.

Those three paragraphs kick off the announcement. The first one is an abject apology to SJW-sensitive readers who might stand up and shout: Hey, men suck! The…the patriarchy! Why are you doing ANYTHING to help them? Once that’s out of the way, they outline some very good reasons for rolling out the guidelines. Men in this country are suffering, no doubt. But in the third, they come around to telling us that the only problem with men is “traditional masculinity.”

The article does not explain why traditional masculinity was not a “problem” for the 2,000 years prior to 1970. It does not explain why we’re only seeing this explosion in suicide rates now. Perhaps because to look too deeply into those issues would be to inadvertently criticize the social revolution their buddies on the left have engineered?  

We could be persuaded to believe that in 2015, when the APA came out and said that being transgender was just fine and dandy, they were merely crouching in cowardice. But in 2019, they are actively carrying water for an agenda that aims to strip men of everything that makes them men. Pretty sad to see our entire scientific community powering up behind these dangerous ideologies, but this is where we are now.

Rajkummar Rao Makes His International Debut With Nargis Fakhri In 5 Weddings

2017 was the year for National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao’s with his stellar performances at the box office that received praise from audiences as well as critics. And he’s giving us strong promise in 2018 as well beginning with his acclaimed performance in Omerta. His upcoming films include Fanne Khan, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Stree, and Mental Hai Kya. And he will also be making his international debut alongside Nargis Fakhri in Indo-American director Namrata Singh Gujral’s 5 Weddings.

In 5 Weddings, Rao takes on the role of a police officer named Harbhajan Singh who is tasked with escorting an Indian origin American journalist named Shania Dhaliwal (played by Nargis Fakhri). She travels to her native land India on an assignment to write an article about Indian weddings and the police officer is responsible for her safety. But what seems like a light-hearted task soon turn into something serious. As the film’s synopsis on IMDB states: "An American journalist (Fakhri) travels to India for what she thinks will be an easy magazine feature on Bollywood weddings, only to have the assignment interrupted by a cop (Rao), who is convinced there is journalistic espionage behind the innocent magazine article. As the coverage of Bollywood weddings unfolds, so does a colorful mosaic of lost loves, transgender tangles and culture clashes along the heartfelt journey of life, symbolised by the universal ups and downs of a wedding celebration."

As the trailer of this film suggests, this is an interesting journey for Fakhri’s character as she experiences a fusion of her two cultures while she explore the lives of local hijras and also developing romantic feelings for her escort officer leading to further complications. Overall, it looks like a really fun trailer that covers the traditional aspects of a typical Punjabi wedding while also highlighting the rapid modernization in the country’s society and culture. 5 Weddings goes from an easy breezy comedy to an investigative journey mixed with a romantic love story.

The film which will release in the US, Canada, and India, also stars Academy Award nominee Candy Clark, Golden Globe nominee Bo Derek and Dutch-American actor Anneliese Van der Pol. Set to release in theatres on 21st September, the film had its worldwide premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May. Director Gujral shared her excitement saying, "I am so thrilled that the fruits of our labour are around the corner. 5 Weddings will have its global premiere at Cannes next month. It will be the first time audiences will be able to watch the film. It is immensely exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. Americans are loving the film – so, I hope the French like it too."
