Healing Begins By Establishing a Shared Language
Healing can occur through community support that is separate from professional wellness options; it’s important to first establish a shared language. Maybe it will be “we’re all in this together”. Dr. Omar Reda suggests that we are all wounded healers who can create compassionate conversations that incorporate psychological first aid while untangling ourselves from trauma. His books, Wounded Healer and Untangled, provide insightful concepts that compliment the efforts of community leaders intent on enhancing the phrase “it takes a village”. In Dr. Reda’s view, the village would use a mosaic of harmony that focuses on This Is Us, Together and promotes his acronym for love:
The village also contains academic and non-academic entities that endorse servant leaders and social wellness . Joiselle Cunningham, the CEO of Pathways to Creative Industries responded to three crises of 2020 by encouraging the village to empower young people in forming connections and to assist them in leveling the societal playing field, but acknowledged we need to share the language that “the village needs to be trained”. She encourages employers to consider “how many students can we engage”.
Training the village in psychological first aid (PFA) will engage servant leaders in healing collaborations. Dr. Reda has developed a few PFA suggestions that can initiate compassionate conversations within the community or work environment. Golden Rule 3.14 Group was fortunate enough to attend Dr. Reda’s PFA webinar, and would like to share this with your organization. For employers wishing to support their servant leaders and provide community service, we can provide resources to connect through the shared language of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and cultivate healing through creative justice efforts.
Through my connections with Dr. Reda and Gareth Higgins, “Moving Onto Both/And” was presented at The New Story Journey 2020 online experience where we explored both trauma and resilience. How Not To Be Afraid is Gareth’s latest book and I now believe the best way to move onto both trauma and resilience is to look at my own fears. To ascertain if I’m going to use the oxygen mask first, I ask myself if I’m experiencing the following:
- Listening to increase understanding
- Offering options
- Validate
- Empowerment
