Vikki will share stories of practice and acts of resistance that inspire hope, bringing us to “Hang Time”, describing activist-informed ways of responding to suffering in persons who have been oppressed and harmed. This approach centres on witnessing folks’ wise and creative acts of resistance. Justice-doing and a decolonising stance for the work is required to resist psychology’s neutrality and objectivity that often blames people for their own suffering from oppression. A witnessing approach requires that we situate personal suffering in its sociopolitical context and resist the individualisation and medicalisation of suffering as ‘trauma’ and other mental illnesses.

This online workshop offers a justice-doing response to ‘trauma’, oppression, violence and suffering. It will address:

  • A decolonizing & justice-doing ethical stance
  • Resist individualization, objectivity & neutrality of trauma Industry
  • Witnessing stance informed by direct action activism
  • Understandings of Acts of Resistance
  • Stories from practice
