Embodiment is a game changer. Thanks Luis for bringing this into this conversation. Gives people back agency to heal and transform their experience and participation in life without having to be completely "healed" from past trauma. It's about generating capacity, which we need to address trauma to heal. Wonderful.
CRIED at several points...these tears of mine are so precious to me... Africa's work has guided me since 2021 in my recovery from an experience of being harrassed for a mistake I made online.. Holistic Navigation is one of my favourite five podcasts... the conversation between Africa and Luis shifted me even more and I could feel it physically.. Thank you. Thank you.
It took me a couple of days to listen all the way through and I will be re-listening. And am interested in the Third Perspective as well. As someone that has felt so outside the norm or any group even before the anguish of the social media that came with 2020, this hit home in so many ways. I was flashing on the 1970's and 1980's (yikes, do I have to admit that I am that old??...) Going out with my closest of friends, which were mostly gay men, I found that lesbians would not consider me acceptable for dating or engaging with in any way because of the company I kept. Ironically I ended up in another town, 40 years later with some of those same women. They don't like me now either because my LGBTQIA connections are more than just the LG. I don't really fit the whole queer box well either. And growing up before integration, I managed to create all kinds of trouble for myself by once again being friends with the wrong kinds of people (according to proper southern etiquette...) Hate is confounding. It's beautiful to hear human beings talking. Thank you.
