151 – Shawna Murray-Browne – Anti-oppressive and Liberation-focused

“So, here’s the thing: liberation work is about imagination.” ~Shawna Murray-Browne

What a treat this episode is (IMHO), and what a gift Shawna Murray-Browne is! That exclamation point is not hyperbole, as you’ll soon hear. As founder and executive director of Kindred Community Healing, Shawna is a liberation-focused practitioner whose forward-thinking mental health care has the power to restore generations past, present, and future. I first came to know Shawna through her brilliant class Decolonizing Therapy for Black Folks, a program so influential that I took it a second time alongside my entire staff.

Liberation is the work of reconnection, a reweaving of generational threads so that the holes left by trauma are finally, wholly addressed. 

“I do think that connecting to our pre-colonial history helps us to understand some of our karmic sort of energy,” Shawna says, holding space for my inquiry about white expressions of pre-colonial wholeness as well. She ends our mind-bending, heart-opening discussion with this gem: “Our only way forward is together.” 

Remember how I said that I’d taken Shawna’s course twice now? Yeah, well, this is one of those episodes that I’m going to return to again and again. The gift is so good. Listen in, you’ll see.

Shawna Murray-Browne, LCSW-C, is an award-winning community healer, national speaker, and Liberation-Focused, Mind-Body Medicine Practitioner. She is the Founder and Executive Director of Kindred Community Healing and the Principal Consultant at Kindred Wellness LLC. Trained as an integrative psychotherapist, Shawna has created life-changing, community-based sacred spaces, honoring culture, to equip Black women, youth, and change-makers with the tools to heal themselves.

#1: Conversations with a Wounded Healer by Sarah Buino, LCSW, RDDP, CADC, CDWF Friday, March 5, 2021 – 9:30am – 12:30pm CST

In this field, we are encouraged to practice self-care, but not often encouraged to take a deeper look at what comprises “wellness” and what gets in the way. This is not a fluffy self-care seminar, but rather a call to action designed to challenge participants to step into their own healing with courage. In order to thrive in this field, it’s crucial we shine a light on what really matters when it comes to caring for ourselves and the barriers that get in the way of being our best selves.

#2: Friday, May 7, 2021 – Trauma from the Individual to the Collective by Rayell Grayson, LCPC, CADC and Sarah Buino, LCSW, RDDP, CADC, CDWF #3: Friday, September 17, 2021 – Body Language by Joanna Taubeneck, LCPC, R-DMT, GL-CMA, E-RYT #4: Friday, November 19, 2021 – Queering our Conversations by Benji Marton, LCSW

Narcissistic Spiritual Gurus

For some time there have been a growing number of  Spiritual Teachers who are Narcissistic Personalities. The are among the most magnetic and charismatic individuals. 

There are many individuals who have been through very difficult and traumatic childhoods and deprivations. Some are going through divorce, shifts in their psychological and emotional well being.  Coming to the rescue are “narcissistic Gurus” who have all the answers. Charismatic, charming, excellent communicators and story tellers, these individuals offer courses that calm you down and that can make you rich. 

Often physically attractive with excellent communication skills, tey can captivate any audience.  Many travel the world, peddling their packages for thousands of dollars.  I have seen their self entitled over the top lifestyles, born out of the money that they extract from psychologically vulnerable people. 

I share my experience with a very “gifted” high level narcissistic guru. 

Pay attention to your intuitive gifts. You know the truth. Discover your own spiritual practice that has special meaning to you. Be kind, patient and understanding with yourself.

Malicious Narcissists Convincing Others You Are At Fault Or Crazy

Narcissists have an ugly, obnoxious side, especially if they want something that you have a nd you refuse to comply. This becomes very ugly during divorce from a narcissist. 

Do your research and be prepared for the narcissist during the divorce process. They hire shark-toothed attorneys. In some instances the narcissist contacts your relatives, in-laws, friends and anyone who who will listen to blatant lies about your character. 

The narcissist puts you at fault for everything that went wrong in the marriage. They never take responsibility for their irresponsible behavior. 

Surround yourself with individuals whom you can trust and who believe and understand the complex ordeal you are going through. 

Be kind and patient with yourself; practice self care: rest, sleep, move and exercise your way, nourishing food, hydration, Nature.
