Living in an unjust society takes a toll.
You can't oppress people without us having feelings. Yet, most of us suppress emotions when they bubble up. I know I still have that pull, even after 30 years of committing to an emotional healing practice.
Why? Because I also got the message from society that if we show our feelings (and someone else gets uncomfortable) there is a real threat that we'll be told there's something wrong with us or that we are weak.
We’ve had to numb out to continue to function. Being listened to gives us permission to heal.
The LJIST approach to healing re-centers the release of human emotion as a path toward ending oppression.
When we un-numb we reclaim our capacity to be connected with other humans, to stand up against injustice, and be the transformational change agents we want to be.
Being connected and collective in our healing is key to ending oppression.
This excerpt from our Constructivist Listening key learnings video, included in the materials for this session, introduces our core practice for healing from oppression.

MORE ABOUT NANCI
Mabrika!
I founded the Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation when I was 26 years old. For the past 30 years, I have committed to my own healing so I can be an authentic companion and guide for individuals and groups to move out of shame and guilt and into connection on a shared journey to end oppression.
I listen. I see you. I’m here to remind you even when you can’t remember: you are good. I am not confused by how your hurts show up. While only you can do your healing, I’m committed to stay with you in the journey. When we break the isolation, we can more fully live into our purpose. When we heal, we can finally end oppression.
