Thank you Adam for bringing light to some of the subtler topics like psychological abuse that is still being tolerated across. It's also sometimes hard to grasp in the moment because of certain behaviors being normalized. Shockingly enough, sometimes people also prioritize the product of an establishment over their own values. I am not sure about the larger impact and if nothing else, these conversations inspire self-conscious teachers like myself to be better and more mindful of our behaviors in our spaces. So thank you! 🙏
thanks for watching! indeed, as you say, we don’t know how to get free of this tendency- and I didn’t manage to find a conclusive answer here obviously. But, just to point out that these things - abuse, shaming, gaslighting, etc aren’t at all okay or part of the process.
Very interesting episode-you bring up a lot of good points. I think that there is a cultural dimension to touch and, possibly, to physical adjustments or assists. Certain cultures are maybe more (stereo)typically uncomfortable with touch (the UK being one example… speaking as someone with British in-laws :) and others being more relaxed about it (i.e. France, Italy, parts of North America, etc.). Individuals’ personalities, upbringings, and past traumas can play a part too.
while that is a very good point (I agree about the British!) I would still say though that unsolicited or inappropriate touch is still found as such regardless of the cultural perception around touch generally. Thanks for listening and considering the topic further.
Thank you for talking about this topic and bringing more awareness about it! I very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
glad to hear you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
