David Grand and Dr Mondo, “Helping White Ears Listen to Truths About Racial Injustice”
June 15,2020
Dr. David Grand, founder of Brainspotting, and Dr. Armando Gonzalez discuss racism through the lens of trauma and it's impact on the human brain.
This will be a conversation between two men with white privilege attempting to do our best at educating other white men and women of the realities of institutional racism, how we all are blinded by our own privilege and why we run, blame and defend our way out of accepting these harsh truths.
