Shadow Work For Racial Justice - Insight Timer Live

In this recording of an Insight Timer Live event from June 2021, Catherine explains how we may empathically tend to the racialized trauma in our own bodies so that we can unfreeze paralysis, ease defensiveness, and create space for deepening compassion and equity in our world. Offered with gratitude for the work of Resmaa Menakem, which inspired much of what Catherine shares here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this excellent talk.

I’m not sure I can put into words how much this live has impacted me. Catherine’s vulnerability with the experience that she shares, with such honesty and humility, really touched me. I connected on a deep level to the purging/projection that takes place when our bodies are experiencing a trauma response. The idea of the nervous system going into the fawn state to try and discharge tension, makes so much sense.
This is indeed the deepest shadow and it feels enormous - I’m glad to have been “cracked open” and I look forward to reading My Grandmother’s Hands.
Thank you for your bravery and honesty Catherine.

Brilliantly, thoughtfully and sensitively executed. A 'must-listen' for all. Listen to the end!☮️💜

This talk is so incredibly necessary. Thank you for your courage to mention your vulnerability and to use it as a teaching tool for the rest of us. I will be listening to this again and sharing with as many people as I can 🙏🏻✨
