Even here in the West, Black and Indigenous Healers have been pushing back against the bias and inadequacies of western colonial conceptualizations of trauma, mental health and healing for years.

1/6 Even for White western people, the idea of a non-traumatic baseline requires one to ignore inter- and trans-generational trauma which we see and suffer repercussions of daily.

The insistence on a linear, quickly identifiable, medicalizeable source and experience is damaging.

Today on #LaborDay I want to talk to you about supporting strikes and unions.

People get very personally a fronted when people like therapists, nurses, doctors, and teachers strike. They also get upset and blame these same people when they can't get help.
So the Kaiser Strike
🧵 nuhw.org/kaiser-dont-de…
Kaiser mental health workers in California and Hawai'i are on strike because Kaiser has refused to fully staff its clinics forcing clients to wait for care. Kaiser is breaking the law and clinical standards.
Yet people are upset with the workers.

As a Black adoptee. I need y'all to realize that adoption has LONG been legalized human trafficking. These people want cute perfect babies as accessories. They don't want to help kids or they'd be helping the hundreds of thousands in foster care, but it's about molding kids. Black kids are already sold at a discount. Black families already denied the ability to adopt.

This is nothing new this is not some fiction novel. This is expanding what's been done to Black, Indigenous, and Latine people to White people because they want white babies.

The "Fuck your feelings" folks are now trying to make it illegal to make "white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past".
This is absurd a 🧵 1/9
apnews.com/article/busine… This bill is absurd for obvious reasons, but let's also talk about the fact that it doesn't understand what discomfort is. @ResmaaMenakem delineates clean pain and dirty pain because our avoidance of pain, especially when addressing racism frequently yields pain too. 2/9
