""Self-Talk Storytelling gave me the confidence to confront uncomfortable parts of myself and be open about them. I realized that being vulnerable and honest with myself is not only okay, but essential for growth and deeper connections with others. This experience strengthened my ability to practice radical honesty, both with myself and those around me.""

""Self-Talk Storytelling helped me confront the uncomfortable truths about my whiteness and the internal work I need to do. By engaging in self-talk storytelling, I realized that sitting with my own discomfort is crucial before engaging with others. HRP taught me that this internal reflection is the first step toward meaningful, outward change.""

"”[HRP] is about healing race. It means recognizing the trauma of white supremacy in ourselves and choosing to live into [my] fullness instead of the twisted form it shaped. It’s not pretty, comfortable, or a fix—but in my experience, and in collective, it works.”"

"[Using HRP technologies] feels like a neural synapse reconnecting—the synapses are always there, but cauterized by past experience. Every time I [return], I gain broader access to what was already in me—body, memory, and nerve centers once closed now opening, likely for safety, maybe even ancestral reasons."

"Now, healing race means...touching in, touching back, touching down—all happened. Very Earth-based kind of sensationing."

"historically, being in the story was just trauma. With Self-Talk Storytelling, I have options. I'm choosing, I'm choosing freedom. One option was standing outside myself, just witnessing and observing everything as it happened. I could also stand inside myself and receive channeling from ancestors or guides about what might come next—whether in storytelling..." Read more

I felt that there was a unifying essence of humanity and the bringing to light the challenges that both black skinned people and white skinned people face. I especially found..." Read more

"The experience provided me with deeper levels of understanding re: centering, whiteness vs. white bodied, racial justice, and more. Although I participated in the ESJC program, being in person, and hearing things again, in various manners, and in community made a difference. The dedicated space, far from the delightful distractions of home, allowed me to not..." Read more

"Yeah. I mean, from my mind, the practice was amazing—just being there, holding space instead of having to comment. I have a very analytical mind that likes to jump in and take care of people, but with that taken away, there was space in me to hold whatever the person was saying without making it about me. I was trying to stay inter-experiential. I was with t..." Read more

"It was really great to have the space to explore it in a held container—both the witnessing and the extended time to poke around. It was very supportive. Each time brought more clarity about the nature of the trauma. By the second or third telling, I realized I had been really ejected, propelled out of my body—out of an embodied state. It was like going back..." Read more

Instead of feeling burdened by guilt, I now feel a sense of collective and ancestral responsibility to address the gaps in areas like suicide and incarceration that disproportionately affect communities of color.
