Political exhaustion is not the same as caring too much. This workshop explores how we are conditioned to respond to political and societal hostility, and which measures we can take to strengthen ourselves rather than merely cope. We will explore practices and perspectives that support long-term resilience for ourselves and our communities. These include finding meaningful ways to act without burning out.
When we are affected by political hostility and uncertainty, we can find ourselves caught between staying informed, taking action for social justice, and needing to protect our own well being. Being ‘used’ to hostile conditions unfortunately does not automatically lead to resilience. It takes a toll on our health and our outlook. And with rising political uncertainty, it is normal to experience increased worry and challenges of mental well being.
You Will Learn:
- how political hostility dysregulates us, and how to counteract this
- practical ways to restore agency and hope without denying reality
- how toxic positivity and morality are weaponised against our health
- bypassing-traps to be aware of, and healthier alternatives
- statistics of resistance that can lend us hope
There will be occasion for questions, discussion, and reflection.
