Social Emotional Learning: Connecting teachings across generations

Description: 

In this episode, podcast host Linsey McMurrin explores the connections between Western and indigenous systems of thought for building healthy people and communities. In her non-profit career she works to educate communities in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), a Western framework for developing healthy social and emotional skills. But as a proud Anishinaabe woman, she also recognizes that the traditional wisdom of her ancestors was designed to do the same thing, well before SEL existed. Exploring connections between SEL and the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Linsey reflects on how reclaiming a relationship to traditional wisdom can be a part of restoring dignity and authenticity for herself and her community. Linsey is helped along in her reflections by her two sons: 12-year-old Isaias and 7-year-old Tobias.

Description: 

As children, our need for connection can override our impulse to be true to our authentic selves. But in adulthood we can choose our relationships and the boundaries that govern them. With this freedom comes the responsibility to balance our needs for attachment and authenticity with the health and well-being of ourselves and others. We may want to be generous with our time and energy, but if we give too much we risk depleting ourselves and creating dependence in others. In this episode, listeners hear how podcast hosts Susan Beaulieu and Briana Matrious have experimented with setting and maintaining healthier boundaries in their lives, and how that intersects with their identities as indigenous women.

Description:
As children, we develop “attachment styles” as a result of the parenting we receive, and we carry these habits into our adult relationships. In this episode, listeners learn about the four main attachment styles, how they often come about in child-parent relationships, and how developing a consciousness of these patterns can help us choose and develop healthy relationships as adults. Podcast hosts Susan Beaulieu, Briana Matrious, and Linsey McMurrin discuss how in Native American communities attachment styles and parenting are mixed up with the intergenerational inheritance of trauma from the boarding school era and other violence wrought by colonization. Leading by example with their own personal reflections, the hosts begin charting a path towards disrupting unhealthy relationship patterns and remembering the resilience passed down through generations who have survived and kept the wisdom and values of their communities alive.

In this episode, we explore the idea that collective trauma requires collective healing.  As co-host Briana Matrious so aptly puts it, “The most powerful healing that has happened in my life has been in community with one another.”  We explore what that means for us as individuals—both personally and professionally – as we move through these current times together.

In this episode, we explore how listening and learning have emerged as a key component of connecting with community in an authentic way. Attachment and relationship remain the key components to feeling connected in our world, to feeling that we belong. In the context of both individual and collective healing, it brings us to the question, ‘How might we continue to connect in a good way to make these protective factors even more powerful?’

In this episode, we explore how from the lens of mainstream society, the idea of self-care can be off-putting.  It is only when we slow down and see things through an alternate perspective, reminding ourselves that taking care of ourselves is where we can better care for others more effectively, that’s where we are reminded to extend grace to each other (and extend it to ourselves!) in a good way. When we can care for ourselves well, we can care for each other even better.   This is the power of relationship and connection exemplified.

In this episode, we speak on our own experiences around healing in a ceremonial and therapeutic setting. How can we integrate into mainstream these opportunities for therapeutic release and cross-generational healing that may not be as widely accepted? How might we invite all our relatives into the space where we understand self-care is not only a luxury but an essential?

Please note that in podcast episodes #7- #9, we explore Indigenous medicine and traditional healing modalities that are not currently widely understood by mainstream culture in the United States.

In this episode, Dr. Tafur continues to guide us as we explore the neurobiological response to stress and our natural responses as we realize how dysregulation can manifest as extreme dis-ease as we recognize how chronic stress and trauma can show up as disturbance in our lives.  We must learn to accept and communicate that this isn’t only “in our head” rather a symptom of greater problems that must be addressed on multiple levels, should we want to heal fully.
