“I HAD KNOWN THE PAIN, AND SURVIVED IT. IT ONLY REMAINED FOR ME TO GIVE IT VOICE, TO SHARE IT FOR USE, THAT THE PAIN NOT BE WASTED.” AUDRE LORDE The experience of violence is shaped by shame and silence. We’ll hear stories about how silence and shame define the experience of violence for everyone involved: the victim, the perpetrator and the bystander, with a special focus on white bystanders and racist violence. We explore how violence is dehumanizing, and leads survivors to blame themselves. We also hear about the forces that make it difficult for victims and bystanders to speak up.This hour long show is about the power of overcoming shame and silence by telling the truth about violence. Through compelling stories and expert reflection, we explore how finding voice and bearing witness can become part of recovery for both individuals and communities.                                                          [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DM89ZLB][https://safespaceradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Survey-button-400x49.jpg]http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GL39GKP   TIPS & STRATEGIES FOR CONFRONTING VIOLENCE [https://safespaceradio.com/from-violence-to-voice/violence-tips/] LISTEN TO STORIES FROM THE EPISODE Safe Space Radio [https://soundcloud.com/dr-anne] · From Violence to Voice [https://soundcloud.com/dr-anne/sets/from-violence-to-voice] RESOURCES FROM OUR GUESTS * Carl Russell; No Telling Aloud: Keeping Secrets That Hurt [https://www.amazon.com/No-Telling-Aloud-Keeping-Secrets/dp/1626523991/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=carl+russell+No+Telling+Aloud&qid=1600039031&s=books&sr=1-1] * Susan Brison; Aftermath: Violence and the ReMaking of the Self [https://www.amazon.com/Aftermath-Violence-Remaking-Susan-Brison/dp/0691115702] * Jim Gilligan; Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic [https://www.amazon.com/Violence-Reflections-National-James-Gilligan/dp/0679779124/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=James+Gilligan+Violence&qid=1600391348&s=books&sr=1-1] * Jim Gilligan; Preventing Violence: Prospects for Tomorrow [https://www.amazon.com/Preventing-Violence-Prospects-Tomorrow-Gilligan/dp/0500282781/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=James+Gilligan+Violence&qid=1600391450&s=books&sr=1-2] * Martha Minow; Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History After Genocide and Mass Violence [https://www.amazon.com/Between-Vengeance-Forgiveness-Genocide-Violence/dp/0807045071/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Martha+Minow&qid=1600391788&s=books&sr=1-2] * Martha Minow; Breaking the Cycles of Hatred: Memory, Law, and Repair [https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Cycles-Hatred-Memory-Repair/dp/0691096635/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Martha+Minow&qid=1600391867&s=books&sr=1-7] * Daryl Fort, TEDx 2014; “Safe Communities Require Empathetic Courage” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbU8Lnr-Wq8] FURTHER READING & LISTENING General Resources: * Why Does He Do That?

WHAT IF IT’S OUR BEST CHANCE TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD?” NAOMI KLEIN Reports of wildfires, hurricanes, and extinctions are frightening, yet we rarely hear people talking about the mental health impact of these changes. This hour long show explores how coping with the mental health impacts of climate change can actually make us more effective at combating it. We hear stories about the challenge of facing the facts, and emotions including grief, hopelessness, and fear. Finally, we consider how taking action can actually lead us to greater strength, connection, and impact.

Courage is the choice to act even when we feel afraid. It forces us to confront fear, shame, and stigma—and to feel our own strength. This hour-long show is about how accessing our own courage also supports our mental health and well-being, exploring the experience of living with mental illness—such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder—as  a kind of “courage boot camp.” We also discuss how culturally-imposed silence can enforce shame and make accessing our courage much more difficult. Safe Space Radio combines compelling storytelling with practical expert guidance to give you the tools you need to start finding your own courage.                                                          [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DM89ZLB][https://safespaceradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Survey-button-400x49.jpg]https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FL9MGXX TIPS & STRATEGIES FOR ACCESSING YOUR COURAGE (PDF) [https://safespaceradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Tip-Sheet—Courage-Mental-Health.pdf] LISTEN TO STORIES FROM THE EPISODE Safe Space Radio [https://soundcloud.com/dr-anne] · Profiles in Mental Health and Courage [https://soundcloud.com/dr-anne/sets/profiles-in-mental-health-and-courage] RESOURCES FROM OUR GUESTS * The Inside Story [https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Story-Journey-Towards-Self-Discovery/dp/1611532027/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Neil+Mckenty&qid=1601253946&sr=8-7] * Neil Mckenty * Thinking in Pictures: My life with Autism [https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Pictures-Expanded-Life-Autism/dp/0307275655/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Temple+Grandin&qid=1601254047&sr=8-3] * Temple Grandin * Black Bear Support Services [https://blackbearsupportservices.com/] Laura Catevenis * A Tale of Mental Illness—From the Inside [https://www.ted.com/talks/elyn_saks_a_tale_of_mental_illness_from_the_inside?language=en] Elyn Saks—TED Talk * The Center Cannot Hold [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781401309442] Elyn Saks * The Power of Vulnerability  [https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en] Brene Brown—TED Talk * Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance  [https://www.ffbha.org/] Jeff Dill * Black Mental Health Advocacy & Research Lab at The University of Massachusetts [https://www.blackmhadvocacyandresearch.com/dr-abdullah] Dr. Tahirah Abdullah * The Color of My Mind [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781947647398] Dior Vargas   FURTHER READING & LISTENING Books * Trauma and Recovery [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780465061716] Judith Herman * The Unspeakable Mind: Stories of Trauma and Healing from the Frontlines of PTSD Science  [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062469069] Shaili Jain * An Unquiet Mind [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780679763307] Kay Redfield Jamison * Outside the Wire: 10 Lessons I’ve Learned in Everyday Courage [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781538747599] Jason Kander * Building a Life Worth Living: a Memoir  [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780812994612] Marsha Linehan * A Shining Affliction [https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780140240122] Annie G.

“I HAD KNOWN THE PAIN, AND SURVIVED IT. IT ONLY REMAINED FOR ME TO GIVE IT VOICE, TO SHARE IT FOR USE, THAT THE PAIN NOT BE WASTED.” AUDRE LORDE [https://safespaceradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Listen-Violence-photo-400x268.jpg]ce The experience of violence is shaped by shame and silence. We’ll hear stories about how silence and shame define the experience of violence for everyone involved: the victim, the perpetrator and the bystander, with a special focus on white bystanders and racist violence. We explore how violence is dehumanizing, and leads survivors to blame themselves. We also hear about the forces that make it difficult for victims and bystanders to speak up.This hour long show is about the power of overcoming shame and silence by telling the truth about violence. Through compelling stories and expert reflection, we explore how finding voice and bearing witness can become part of recovery for both individuals and communities.
