I think it is a wonderful presentation, and I find Deran to be really compelling. But the CNN study part of the presentation was a mistake from my perspective. The test polarizes from the beginning- the adults start by telling the children there are bad children, mean children , etc. they don’t ask are there mean children?, they ask who is the mean child? who is the bad child? This forces the child being questioned to choose between the images which they are told, by adults, contain bad, mean, dumb people etc.
This isn’t a study that really looks into the situation with complexity. The adults questions have already made the children choose polarization. The study actually hurts the kids, influencing them make them choose, but only after they are told bad and good are here and present, in black and white if you will, and to choose between the existing bad , mean , dumb etc.
It even confuses one boy who asks with disbelief, “bad child? ”
No one asks, for example, is there a mean child? Is there a smart child? it only tells the child being questioned that these are pictures of kids faces, and one kid is stupid, who is the dumb kid?, really? asking “who is the dumb one?” This is programming the answers.
Neuroscientists will tell us that we choose what is familiar as a part of our deepest wiring for connection, community and trust building. It isn’t the same as racism in society. I realize legacy burden and all the sexism, racism, patriarchy and classism are alive and well on planet earth, but studies like these are no help in my opinion. The questions accentuate polarization for the children. That is what the kids being questioned were taught, to polarize. Why?
Deran is incredibly articulate and specific around the concept of legacy burdens. A vibrant presentation! I was highly interested drawn in by her enthusiasm for the topic. In my spiritual CAGS program we discussed inherited wounds and trauma. Deran’s presentation shows not only the impact on us but the possibility of healing for all.
I had to come back to note just how much I got out of this talk. The concept of the four Legacy Burdens–Racism, Sexism (patriarchy), Classism (materialism), and the wound of Individualism was really helpful. And I just want to thank Deran for the clarity and joy of her spirit. <3
I really appreciated the specific examples of how legacy burdens show up and additional perspectives of addressing inter-generational trauma. This is an area that isn’t spoken about enough! This work is so important and enjoyed how thorough this presentation was. Thanks Deran
Thank you for this presentation. I can feel legacy burdens and collective trauma in the Greek culture, mainly associated with poverty and individualism.
Thank you for the session Dr. Deran Young. A lot to take away.
I wish I can listen to this over and over again
Thank you so much Deran Young, I have really learned so much, the 6 fs, the concept of legacy burden, and your amazing definition of DENIAL and SHAME.
I am listening from Gombe state northeast Nigeria
Wish the Australian Dep. Education would watch such important informative presentations. Wonderful, thanks so much for sharing.
From the first comment, I knew I would learn a lot from Deran! I appreciate her thoughts and insights. Fantastic!
Very enlightening and amazing talk, i love it. may i know the name of the show or the link of the viedo? THANKS
Thank you, Deran. I’d enjoy some conversations with you. Well done.
Fantastic speaker / educator
An incredible and powerful presentation.Thank you Ms Deran Young
Absolutely wonderful presentation! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
This lecture was very informative and insightful.
Very beautiful, very authentic, full of light. Thank you so much”
This session was amazing, thank you so much. The video was so upsetting to see the children answer this way but it shows how influenced children are by us and their environment, really enlightening.
Very enlightening and encouraging input. Thank You Deran
Love that you bring up legacy burdens and self compassion. Being on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee has been so eye opening for this and the conversations are so wonderful to have. Thank you for speaking about all of these topics 🌿
‘My strongest weakness – being strong’ … mmm.
A really beautiful, inspiring and so necessary talk. wow.
The exercise with the children was so so sad to watch :(. Legacy burdens; ‘dishonest harmony’; emotional poverty; privilege… so many takeaways from this! And the acronyms! 🙂 Thankyou so much
Thank you, Deran! I like your approach, it’s thought-provoking and yet you deliver the presentation with lots of kindness and compassion. I’m now highly motivated to learn more about legacy burdens and collective trauma. Thank you!
I’m so glad I went back and watched this video from yesterday- Deran is so down to earth and I loved how she wove in her own personal journey as she spoke about legacy burdens and how IFS and a compassionate approach can help the healing process. Loved the easy to remember acronyms, too! Deran is very inspirational- thank you for this!
I absolutely love this seminar and it provided additional insights to the family system and how we are impacted daily. I appreciate you reminding us that legacy burdens are real and so automatic. I’m so grateful for your voice. Thank you.
I am only 6 minutes in and am already finding this talk enlightening.
Thanks
This seminar helped me to gain curiosity of the different parts of myself and to be compassionate towards those parts. I now can understand that these parts surfaced to help me survive. This will help me to recognize different legacy burdens within myself and when helping my clients. Thank you for your eye opening seminar.
If we believe we are connected in our humanity, we are connected in our healing. Loved that, and this intro to legacy burdens. Thank you Deran!
Excellent presentation; Very practical. Collective legacy burden resonate with me and employing compassion on myself is the key to reach others.
Honoring our hearts and carrying what we feel is important. Thanks for the tools
Exceptional. Thank you for this.
Great presentation, thanks so much 🙏
As a Native American survived of the Indian School. Invisibility is big for me and for many years being referred as other. We decided to address our community in our traditional and spiritual ceremonial ways for healing.
It’s gratifying to see more and more indigenous communities drawing on well-established, traditional knowledge to help individuals and whole communities heal.
This is excellent! Informative, hopeful. Thank you for sharing how this also relates to you.
Thank you for this video. Being brought up in the early 1960’s, a chocolate brown girl, in white suburban New England, I can relate to that doll study. I identified as “white” until I was called the N-word in elementary school. How eye opening, the information that you shared. Life changing! Thank you!
It helped to hear that all these parts, even the one that denies my dark skin are welcomed and there to protect me. Thank you for important video.
Beautiful! all so well said. Thank you for this amazing presentation. I learned so much.
Thank you for the presentation!
Great talk Deran! I learned so much today. I appreciate all you do. Black Therapist Rock was pivotal in my private practice journey as a young therapist. Thank you for your service!
I really enjoyed her presentation on IFS. I am kind of new to it. I do have the book, No Bad Parts. I love her broad approach especially the 4 legacy burdens. most therapists do not include those. Great work, Great sharing! Thank you so much…..
Thank you.
