This article allowed me to summarize some of the things which were important to me about this two day workshop. What a fantastic experience! Food for the mind and the soul. The pleasantness and warmth of Dr Hardy made what he had to say challenging and enjoyable. I appreciated how he presented the workshop and the attention he gave to answering attendees’ questions. His presentation of the workshop possessed a raw honesty that allowed you to respect and appreciate his truth which more than often resonated with my experiences in the UK. The two days were action packed and touched on conversations about race, intentionality and consequences, domination and subjugation, privilege and subjugation, position versus imposition, different parts of ourselves, invisible wounds which included topics such as defensiveness, silence, learned voicelessness, seeing and not saying and swallowing. He focussed on the dynamics of oppression examining primary and secondary oppression, rage, race and child development, therapist’s own invisible wounds and places of safety, and this was in the first day! On day two he spoke more about the invisible wounds, traumatic loss, humiliation and shame and orientation towards survival and reciprocal obligation. He also showed three powerful clips from videotapes which demonstrated issues about the subtlety of racism. I am touching on three of those topics in this article, the critical assumptions, some of the invisible wounds and ourselves. Ending with how his existential style embraces the concept of intersubjectivity. Please click on the link to read the full article.
