About this mini course
Why lump exclusion and racism together?
Main Definitions
Racism vs. Supremacy
Secondary definitions
Examples of supremacy and grandiosity in practice
Racism, Exclusion, and Trauma
How are These Patterns Formed?
Origins of supremacy and grandiosity
Subconsciously formed, invisible to those who hold them and hence more difficult to change.
Grandiosity: subconscious formation
Supremacy: subconscious formation
Why is it so difficult to change these patterns?
1st Challenge: Invisible Socialization
2nd Challenge: Rigid Identity
3rd Challenge: Low Motivation to Change
4th Challenge: Unconscious Bias
Bias: specific examples
5th Challenge: In-Group vs. Out-Group
6th Challenge: The contribution of trauma to the formation of grandiosity and supremacy
Check out the following video: Trauma and "non-coachable" individuals
Video 3: Trauma and "non-coachable" individuals
How does trauma affect memory systems in the brain?
7th Challenge: Responding with reduced empathy
Making transformation possible
Transformation & Unlearning: 7 guiding principles
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 1: Core issues cannot be solved in one context only
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 2: To unlearn, we need to also manage the letting go process of previous patterns.
Video: The five stages of Unlearning
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 3: To unlearn, we need to identify deep implicit Unlearning goals
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 4: Unlearning response patterns to discomfort
Check out the following video: What does it take to support transformation of "non-coachble" individuals?
Video: What does it take to support transformation of "non-coachable" individuals?
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 5: Transformation requires memory re-consolidation
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 6: Unlearning requires engaging the whole brain
Transformation & Unlearning Principle 7: Creating an effective accountability structure
