Rape Culture is …

When we interviewed Amanda Spitfire and Roderick Thomas II about their work at Project SAFE in session 27 (A Solid Community of Humans) we also asked Amanda to recite some original poetry. 

Amanda chose a couple of excerpts from an intense poem they wrote for March to End Rape Culture/Take Back the Night Philly. Their recitation went beyond the time we could offer in 1 session so we offer it here as a stand alone BONUS.

It is truly a BONUS to hear this!

With Amanda’s permission we shortened the title – the entire title of the poem is:

Rape Culture is… from behind the Mind of a Trauma Counselors Eyes  — because my organizing will be intentional or it will be nothing — this is an attempted Intersectional Synopsis of the Effects on Life Raised Under Rape Culture

Shrinks Think about Walking into a Party

Do you ever wonder what the Shrinks Think? In between podcast interviews we sometimes talk about social justice issues, or sometimes about common issues or questions that come up in our clinical practice.

In our new mini-session bonus format, we share some of our brief conversations. 

In the first of our mini-sessions we discuss our top 3 tips for entering a social scene/party.

If you have more tips on this subject, let us know and we’ll share them. Also, please let us know if there’s a topic you’d like us to spend a few minutes offering a mini-session around our top tips.
