Healing Collective Trauma from Patriarchy
Dear Sisters,
Have you noticed how much the word trauma is in the collective discourse these days?
Do you think you carry trauma in your body, soul, brain from living in a patriarchal world culture? Do you think it affects your ability to negotiate on your own behalf; to manifest fully and powerfully what you want?
The answer to those questions for me has been a resounding YES. As I have released trauma from my body, heart, brain, I have found my ability to step into my fullness has soared. I even have grown 1.5 inches!!
Granted, it's taken me some time to get momentum with this blog. I struggle with fear around it, carving out the time, self-doubt. My intention is to get it out weekly. I am writing a book on Women and Negotiation and figure I will give you snippets of the chapters as they appear. So please stay tuned and cheer me on. I'm sure you are also struggling to get s**t done, and I cheer you on as well.
In the meantime, I just released a wonderful episode of The Peacebuilding Podcast: From Conflict to Common Ground with modern mystic Thomas Hubl. My professional end game is contributing to a world beyond armed conflict in our lifetimes. Truly our military endeavors are some of the most wasteful, destructive, painful, for all women around the globe, for the planet, for most humans. I focus on women and negotiation is because I believe our stepping into our full power is THE critical step to truly shifting the planet. The more women gain negotiation strength the more we will lead the way to more collaborative decision-making in all things intimate to the global.
My conversation with Thomas is on healing collective trauma generally, but many of my questions are about healing the collective trauma from patriarchy.
Here are some relevant lines from the episode I wrote:
"Throughout the interview, we touched on patriarchy as a collective trauma, the thousands of years patriarchal structures have been in place, their connection to war, the woman’s holocaust in Europe where millions were burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft, the challenges for women to release our codependent conditioning and step fully into our leadership and power."
"'Yes", 'Thomas agrees, "#metoo was a trauma eruption'".
"I believe (the collective trauma from patriarchy) is the core trauma of all the other traumas of domination".

Please share this with any woman who you think might be interested in content on Women, Negotiation and Power. Trying hard to build this list and your help is so valuable.
