Inside Knowledge

Lauren Selfridge – Show Notes Lauren is an associate marriage and family therapist. She works with couples and individuals in California using Imago Relationship Therapy. Her personal definition – "resilience is when I can take what is happening and make a beautiful story out of it." She was a very spiritually connected being from a very early age.  She describes herself as having a little bit of fierceness to her.  She also had things happen to her that have made her strong where she wasn't strong.  They shed light in the areas where she needed to grow. The concept of building beloved community was inspired by a colleague Shirley Strong.  How can we build competencies as a community towards social justice while keeping the connection to the spiritual world present?  We want both the wisdom and compassion.  For her it is about bringing consciousness to the areas where she has privilege.  Bringing her heart to the work so that she is not blaming or shaming herself or others b
