For me, recovery is everything, and I have been so successful I have found some of that beautiful serenity.
Have you ever wondered how healing practices can evolve from fear and control to faith, trust, and love? In this episode of 'No Thanks But Yes', host Donald McDonald chats with Elaine Alec, a remarkable author, political advisor, women’s advocate, and spiritual thought leader. Elaine dives into the themes of her book, 'Calling My Spirit Back', which is filled with teachings, prophecies, and protocols passed down by Elders, language speakers, Medicine People, and helpers.
This isn't just another conversation about recovery; it's a deep dive into the decolonization of healing practices. Elaine passionately discusses how setting boundaries and maintaining regulation are crucial in the recovery journey. She shares personal strategies, like writing tools for herself after therapy sessions, which have been instrumental in her own path to prioritizing recovery. The conversation also touches on the profound impact of colonization on individuals and systems.
Elaine explains how fear and control have been used historically to manipulate people, especially children, leading to long-lasting effects on their autonomy and self-worth. One of the standout topics is her training program, 'Cultivating Safe Spaces', which aims to create supportive environments for healing. Elaine emphasizes that the training is designed to be tough on systems but gentle on people, encouraging participants to adapt and teach it in ways that resonate with them.
Notably, she insists that this invaluable training is available at no cost, underscoring her commitment to making healing accessible to all. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone interested in recovery and healing. Elaine's insights into decolonizing practices, setting boundaries, and creating safe spaces offer hope and practical advice for those on their own recovery journeys.
