Welcome to Decolonising Trauma, where I aim to shake up the way we think about healing, trauma, and transformation. This podcast was birthed in order to shed light on alternative perspectives that contribute to our collective wellbeing.  As a curious rebel and a fellow traveller on this transformative journey, I want to inject a different tone and a fresh vibration into these conversations.  Decolonisation isn't just about historical colonisation; it's about reclaiming our narratives and healing practices. But this podcast isn't exclusive. It's a space for dialogue, unity, and transformation for everybody. To solve problems, we must first shift our mindsets and foster connection. I firmly believe that we can't make progress by sticking to the same old paths; sometimes, a little rebellion is necessary to pave the way for something greater. Join me to explore the unconventional ways in which we can transform our individual and collective trauma.  Get ready to challenge paradigms and embrace a future of joy and liberation.

    In this episode I talk about the origins of the concept 'cleaning our trauma'.Some might feel shame as we have given such dense meaning to the word 'dirty'. I hope to relieve some of this density by giving a different perspective on what it means to clean our trauma.If you haven't already, check out some of my short documentaries on YouTube(153) Yemi Penn - YouTubeSawubona (I See You)Head to Research & Community (yemipenn.com) for more informationJoin me on patreon for community led dialogue: patreon.com/yemipennFollow me on Instagram : Yemi Penn (@yemi.penn) • Instagram photos and videos

    Ooooft.... I don't know what I did in a past life to sign up and navigate these topics, yet I am here for it!!!I get totally uncomfortable in this episode as I explore in real time my own thoughts on race and it's relationship with colonialism. I share some of the immediate themes I came across in my early days of researching trauma theories and the origins of what it meant to be traumatised, then known as being 'shell-shocked'I dive into the gradual return of trauma into the social construct that went beyond active duty PTSD.I truly believe when we know different, we can get creative in how we show up in the world. My hope is that in listening to this episode, you get rebelliously curious and lean in to learn more of the non-dominant narrativeSawubona (I See You)Head to Research & Community (yemipenn.com) for more informationJoin me on patreon for community led dialogue: patreon.com/yemipennFollow me on Instagram : Yemi Penn (@yemi.penn) • Instagram photos and videos

    Why would we need to decolonise trauma?I start off by talking about the elephant in the room, the density in the word decolonise and trauma.This was not an easy podcast title to land on, however in the words of some of the greats, it is imperative we give names to challenges we try to solve.In this episode I keep it short and sweet, I explain both the logic and heart behind the title of this podcast, the risk of it dividing us and the full intention of it connecting us.Sawubona (I See You)Head to Research & Community (yemipenn.com) for more informationJoin me on patreon for community led dialogue: patreon.com/yemipennFollow me on Instagram : Yemi Penn (@yemi.penn) • Instagram photos and videos
