Good to share...

A few years ago The Gottman Institute kindly gave me permission to re-create this image in my style.⠀⠀

When I was younger my feelings always felt so overwhelming that I couldn't actually pinpoint why. It felt like this huge tangle of anger/sadness/upset/pissed off-ness and it was so hard to see what was behind it. My answer was "I'm angry/upset/pissed off because YOU did THIS." But I never took the time to look behind that feeling and see what was there.
I love this list because it helps put into words what's often behind that.
⠀
Once we understand why we feel something we can A) Communicate our feelings and also see why we might be experiencing trauma triggers.

Join The UPRISE Collective for the first event in our Annual Community Conversations series. This year we are centering Reproductive Justice and our first event focuses on uplifting the voices of the Q***r community.

This series is all about the work -- the nuances, gray areas, and the myriad instances of triumph and harm that happen routinely in BIPOC and QT/BIPOC organizing -- it's an opportunity to share knowledge, build coalitions, and demystify and strengthen change work.

Community Members will discuss what it means to be LGBTQIA2S+ in the fight for Reproductive Justice. When access to care is severely limited for everyone, what are the implications on access to quality, affirming care? What does it look like to uplift each other's bodily autonomy, safety, and right to reproductive health? The event will be hosted virtually via zoom by The UPRISE Collective.
