F*ck No

Fuck No

Remembering how to say Stop!

This is a practice that is about honoring it when some part of ourselves says, "Fuck no."

For more on coming out of dorsal (shutdown) states, see the framework Coming out of Shutdown, and the framework Coming out of Appease. F*ck No is a deepening and extension of concepts from Learn to Set Clear Boundaries. Often, learning boundary setting brings us directly into the territory of grief (which is also part of coming out of shutdown). See Allow Yourself to Grieve. See Grief Tending. See Apprentice to Grief, see Descent. In terms of the water analogy, see Getting our Nervous Systems back to Normal, and Core Neurobiological Self. Regarding setting strong boundaries, see Coming out of Fight. See Boxing. For further exploration of emotions related to boundary-setting, see The Importance of Disgust and Working with Betrayal and Other Emotions that You Don't Want to Feel. See 3 Steps: Assess, Down-Regulate, Connect. See Tracking. See The Science of Safety. See Turning on the Connection System. See Pete Jackson's work, including Building Peace and Dismantling the Construct of War. See Tiokasin Ghosthorse's work including Deprogramming the Colonial Mind, and Exiting the Language of Domination. See Skeena Rathor's work, including Activism from the Heart of Nature.

Who taught us this?

Much of our comprehension of this comes from studying Dr. Peter Levine's naturalistic approach to trauma resolution, called Somatic Experiencing. This learning was supported by Steven Hoskinson, MA, MAT, developer of the Organic Intelligence model of Moving Beyond Trauma. In our opinion, neither of these bodies of work yet comprensively integrates an understanding of racial trauma into its core theoretical framework, either for white bodies, or bodies of color. For bodies of color, Rezmaa Menakem's work in this direction, articulated through his beautiful book, My Grandmother's Hands, and his training work, is a liberating movement in this direction. From the anti-racism side, Lee Mun Wah's seminal work in mindful anti-racist facilitation is excellent, but does not yet integrate the Polyvagal Theory, trauma therapy, or body-centered psychotherapy.
