Playback session - audio sample

In this grand age of globalism, everywhere in the world, including the United States, we keep witnessing explosion after explosion of people acting as angry, mutually suspicious, destructive tribes. In this workshop, two therapists from different racial backgrounds will explore how to change the dynamic at the heart of hatred and distrust for the "other." We'll discuss how using ourselves to build bridges between groups in conflict and working with the inner family of parts that carry aggression, group loyalty, and the experience of trauma can contribute to the possibilities of reconciliation. You'll come away with a radically different view of what underlies racial and ethnic flare-ups, as well as tools for dealing with the intensity of "us" vs. "them" conflicts. (This session will continue with Workshop 503.)
