Learning to Sit in Uncomfortable Truths | Develop the Capacity to Hold Space for Traumatic Realities Many of us have had specific experiences, whether our own or of those that we know personally, that have shaken us to our core. Whether it was coming to terms with an illness, a violent occurrence, or a death -- proximity to these situations has the power to change our perceptions, permanently. This are the life events that have the power to enable us to come out stronger, or have the capacity to break us. It is important that we learn to accept that reality is what it is, even if that is miles away from the reality we idealize. The best way to bring the life that we envision into existence, is to build a bridge between the realities we philosophize about, and the realities we know have the potential to create positive impact. All the while ensuring that our feet remain on solid ground. #universityoftoronto #violenceprevention #culture #changemanagement #shift 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 13:15 Developing the Capacity to Hold Space for Traumatic Realities 13:15 - Wrap Up *RESOURCES* - Look who's stalking: Obsessive pursuit and attachment theory: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/223160565_Look_who%27s_stalking_Obsessive_pursuit_and_attachment_theory - Inside the Mind of a Stalker: https://www.joinonelove.org/learn/inside-the-mind-of-a-stalker/ - The dark side of relationship pursuit: From attraction to obsession and stalking: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331731570_The_dark_side_of_relationship_pursuit_From_attraction_to_obsession_and_stalking For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!
