    Through the Lens of Moral Safety

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy begin with the evolutionary purpose for morality and the inherent connection between moral development and relational influence. They delineate the struggles faced by a society in which moral absolutism thwarts efforts to account for the complexities of modern life, citing moral injury and distress as consequences often experienced by those lower in organizational and societal hierarchies. The hosts conclude season three with a call for moral imagination and the willingness to shift our current paradigm around violence, care and recovery, reassuring us of the power to act locally, think globally.

    Learned Helplessness and Disempowerment

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy teach the biological basis of learned helplessness and its inherent connection to traumatic experiences, whether in childhood or adulthood. Discussing learned helplessness in organizations, they associate bureaucratic, hierarchical systems with disempowered staff, and even observe the enactment of learned helplessness by the systems themselves – particularly in health and human services. Our hosts conclude with the reassuring fact that learned helplessness can be overcome, so long as we are willing to embrace the necessary changes, risks, and potential failures that lie on the path to recovery and empowerment.

    Complex PTSD and the Little Deaths

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy discuss the often unprocessed grief that accompanies childhood abuse and neglect, and the ways in which that grief translates into pathological responses in adults. They go on to explain that many trauma disorders are actually disorders of disrupted attachment, and how losses in childhood metabolize physically, mentally, and emotionally in our bodies. The hosts conclude with a growing body of research surrounding the power of writing and the arts to break our current paradigm around how we process the past, and illuminate our inherent capacity for self-healing.

    Worldviews, Beliefs, and Terror Management Theory

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy dive deep into Terror Management Theory and the impact that the certainty of death has on how we live our lives. They explain how our “mortality salience” predisposes us to resist change – even positive change – as it reminds humans of our mortality, strengthening our current worldviews and identifications rather than opening us up to uncertainty. This also lends itself as an explanation for society’s rejection of the universal reality of trauma and adversity. The hosts conclude with several skills and approaches used in Creating Presence to mitigate the effects of anxiety and help organizations adopt positive and effective changes for their own growth and development.

    Communication and Collective Disturbance

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy define the health of organizations by the flow of communication within them, emphasizing the significance of diverse perspectives when it comes to complex problem solving. They go on to describe the structure and warning signs of collective disturbances and their root in communication breakdown, typically between the highest levels of an organizational hierarchy and the lower. The hosts conclude with a discussion about creating a culture of candor in order to promote healthy communication between all members of an organization, so that leaders and staff alike have both the information and the support they need to do their jobs effectively.

    The Danger of Silencing Dissent

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy explain the consequences of communities and organizations under stress, noting an incapacity for long-term learning and knowledge integration. They discuss the power of confirmation bias to lead to extremism, often creating group polarization through effectively discouraging or silencing dissent. As a result, decision making and problem analysis deteriorate significantly. The hosts conclude with the distinction between debate and dialogue and their inherent connection to dissent and racial inequality. They reiterate the relationship between trauma informed and anti-racism work, noting the powerful link between groups that welcome dissent and those that challenge white supremacy.

    Trauma and Collective Memory

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy connect collective trauma with organizational amnesia and the subsequent inability to learn from the past. Making the distinction between tacit and explicit knowledge, they discuss the dangers of short term organizational memory and the factors that contribute to it, including massive layoffs and our cultural norm of short term tenure. To conclude, the hosts unpack the power of stories to tap the resources of the unconscious mind. Choosing to “re-story” our own circumstances can grant us the power to enact positive change over situations that may otherwise feel out of our control.

    Authoritarianism and Bogus Empowerment

    Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy lay out the fundamental characteristics of those who are high in authoritarian traits and how they perpetuate the destructive impact of authoritarian leaders – whether in organizations, systems, or countries. Then the hosts describe types of toxic leaders and their use of bogus empowerment to feign democratic participatory practice. They conclude with partnerism, an economic alternative to capitalism, as a means of respecting that which has intrinsic value and thereby creating a more sustainable world for us all.
