    Systemic Trauma and Collective Healing
    Jun 3 2024
    Resiliency Within welcomes back John Kania and Laura Calderon de la Barca. Join this conversation with the Collective Change Lab team who are at the leading edge of shifting how organizations, movements, and collective system change efforts are evolving towards more healing-centered ways of working. John Kania is the Founder and Executive Director of Collective Change Lab. Laura Calderon de la Barca is a psychotherapist specializing in individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma, as well as a collective healing researcher. The conversation will include thoughts on how, in the years since the massive disruption and unrest triggered by the pandemic, there is greater openness and receptivity to thinking about trauma more expansively than ever before. Engaging with trauma is increasingly vital as polarization worsens and challenges escalate into a poly-crisis - thankfully, a deeper conversation is taking root on how to mainstream trauma healing.

  • Encore:Transform Injustice-Confront Patriarchy-The Rebecca Effect

    Encore:Transform Injustice-Confront Patriarchy-The Rebecca Effect
    May 27 2024
    This encore presentation features Elaine Miller-Karas, the host of Resiliency Within, discussing Patriarchy with her colleague and friend, Dr. Michael Sapp. She discusses with Dr. Sapp a concept that she calls the “Rebecca Effect.” The “Rebecca Effect is the empowerment and transformation possible for all who have been oppressed, marginalized, or shamed. Her ideas were sparked by the fictional character Rebecca Welton, the owner of the fictional Richmond football team in the Ted Lasso television show. Initially, Rebecca is consumed by a desire for revenge against her ex-husband, Rupert, who betrayed their marriage. She aims to destroy his beloved football team, which she received in their divorce, by hiring the soccer-illiterate American football coach Ted Lasso. Her eventual journey is littered with reminders of her ex-husband's public attempts to marginalize and shame her. We see the impact of Patriarchal Systems. Like Rebecca, many people endure betrayal, marginalization, and oppression. Despite possessing great strength, they may experience doubt and question their value. Many of us encounter individuals who espouse misogynistic views and attempt to diminish our worth. Elaine describes the Rebecca Effect as the process through which women can embrace themselves in totality—their gifts and their imperfections. They gain the courage to confront injustice and patriarchy. This transformation includes embracing vulnerability, acknowledging the impacts of misogynistic thinking, and stepping into embodied power and strength.
