Judgment comes easily to most of us - at best, it can help us survive. At worst, it can leave us so triggered we can't function. Listen in to explore a real moment, and how to use Nonjudgmental Stance as a tool that can turn hard conversations into teachable moments. Post-Note: This episode uses the term "intersex", defined by isna.org as "a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types. Listen in to this episode to:

Originally for this episode we asked "Have you ever practiced 'being human' to a person who's houseless? It's not something we're ever asked to do, just 'be human'. We're constantly being asked to be smarter, faster, stronger, donate, give - but what does it really mean to you to practice being human?" What's occurred to Drama Therapist Nina since then is the reality that we really need to be asking: what does is mean to be the kind of human who dares to say they are working on their Empowered Human self, honoring their own truth without oppressing themselves and others?

NOTE: This Podcast Episode is a Replay from Season 2.
Empowering ourselves to say no is for Us primarily: others benefit secondarily from our ability to hold or flex that boundary. This episode taps into the importance of actively engaging in saying no, and how powerful that can be even when circumstances violate that boundary. We continue to support the idea that saying no can be practiced like any other skill, and I offer a personal example of why it's so incredibly valuable to know and express my truth despite terrible circumstances - and how you can too.

As human beings, we lose people - it's a part of life. But what happens when you can't handle the feelings of grief, anger, and more - what happens if you take your pain and project it onto another human being, as if they were an object? Zach Budd of www.consentwarrior.com and on Twitter @black_sexgeek shares his own struggle in standing by as a gay man grieves the loss of his life partner while the family outright rejects him, and how years later we can still explore our relationship to the past, finding insight - and maybe even relief - in letting go of the things that no longer serve us.

Listen in to explore a real moment, and how to use Nonjudgmental Stance as a tool that can turn hard conversations into teachable moments. Post-Note: This episode uses the term "intersex", defined by isna.org as "a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types—for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia. Or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY." TOOL: Nonjudgmental Stance.

As a Therapist, one of the greatest tools we offer is Perspective: in this episode, I invite you to consider the difference between Emotion Mind, Rational Mind, and Wise Mind. When we are playing with perspective, we are able to question our own beliefs, and increase acceptance of others having different beliefs. This isn't an invitation to adopt the beliefs of others - but an invitation to mindfully embody acceptance. You know - if you're into that kind of thing. TOOL: Wise Mind.
