This episode is powerful. I’m honored to have two of the three authors of the book, Beyond Fragility with me today. Dr. Natalie Watson-Singleton and Dr. Yara Mekawi, along with Danielle Dawson, have written truly the best anti-racism resource I’ve ever encountered. As a white person and a clinician, it is powerful to hear this perspective of what we need to do psychologically to get to a place of anti-racism. Drs. Natalie and Yara are researchers, educators, writers, and the co-founders of DEAR, the Dialectical Engagement and Anti-Racism Project. Join us to learn more about this timely and important topic!
Show Highlights:
● The origins of DEAR and Beyond Fragility as an outgrowth of Yara’s Medium article, How to not be a “Karen”: Managing the tensions of anti-racism allyship
● The differences between DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and traditional talk therapy
● Systemic racism, emotions, and “whiteness”
● The goal of Beyond Fragility: to teach hard truths and skills that are necessary for a society that isn’t harmful to people of color
● The DBT skill of effectiveness as a decision-guiding principle
● A perspective on furthering anti-racism instead of placing blame
● Barriers to anti-racism work
● Anti-racism skills covered in the book, like accept, feel, detect, etc.
● “Fight or flight” responses–and how they show up in anti-racism
● Anti-racist repair and apologies
● Skills to use in calling out racist missteps: (CALL) clarify what happened, acknowledge intentions, lay out the reasons, and list possible solutions; (OUT) observing, using humility, and tolerating resistance
● The DEI calculator–and how to use it to ask for other perspectives
● An example of anti-racism tools and skills in action with racial marginalization
