Reflection – Resistances & Barriers
Reflection: This week, you will reflect on your current struggles and resistances. We've reflected on readings and on oppressions and our work, but now let’s really try to focus on where you are today. How do you feel about it? Are there barriers to you accepting the concepts, movements, changes with an open heart? Are you able to pinpoint what those barriers/resistances are? Are you satisfied with where you are with your reflection and liberation work? What do you want next?
Some of it might be understanding the material/concept, but also try to push yourself to decide why you need to feel as though you have a strong grasp on concepts to begin to use them? You began counseling people after 6 weeks in the program, not knowing too much. How much community engagement and social justice knowledge do you need to begin practicing it? In any case, try your best to reflect as deeply as you can about any possible struggles with the materials, especially beyond the traditional understanding of “learning”.
