90 The Cursing of the Body and Racial Trauma

The Place We Find Ourselves - A podcast by Adam Young | LCSW, MDiv - Mondays

Jen Oyama Murphy shares a story she wrote for The Allender Center called “My Eyes.” Evil often assaults us through the cursing of others.

In today’s episode, Jen reflects on her experience of racial trauma directed at her eyes and how she has begun to heal.  Support the podcast
