  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood tells the fictionalized story of Grace Marks, a young housemaid convicted of murder in 1843. The novel explores the complexities of truth, memory, and identity as a doctor, Simon Jordan, attempts to uncover the truth about the crime. As Dr. Jordan delves into Grace's story through interviews and a hypnotic session, he struggles with her shifting narratives and his own emotional involvement. The story examines how narratives are shaped by personal perspectives and social expectations. The narrative also portrays the challenges faced by women in the 19th century. The book presents a narrative filled with fragmented memories, conflicting accounts and social commentary that questions the nature of truth itself.

  This timely book unravels race and emotion in the workplace—exploring why racial emotion is often left out of equity conversations and why we must confront it. 
   
   
   
  Racial Emotion at Work is an invitation to understand our own emotions and associated behaviors around race—and much more. With this surprising and timely book, Tristin K. Green takes us beyond diversity trainings and other individualized solutions to discrimination and inequality in employment, calling for sweeping changes in how the law and work organizations treat and shape racial emotions. 
   
   
    
  Green provides listeners with the latest research on racial emotions in interracial interactions and ties this research to thinking about discrimination and disadvantage at work. We see how our racial emotions can result in discrimination, and how our institutions—the law and work organizations—value and skew our racial emotions in ways that place the brunt of negative consequences on people of color. It turns out we need to reset our institutional and not just our personal radars on racial emotion to advance racial justice. Racial Emotion at Work shows how we can rise to the task.

  Narrative Therapy - Rewriting...

  Vivian Westlake

  Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories. This perspective emphasizes that people are not defined by their problems, but rather by the way they relate to and interpret their experiences. The central premise of narrative therapy is that we can rewrite our stories, even the ones shaped by challenges, in ways that empower us to lead fulfilling lives. 
  In narrative therapy, the idea of the "story" is both a literal and symbolic concept. We all live our lives through the stories we tell ourselves and others. These stories shape our sense of identity, how we make sense of our past, and how we envision our future. However, many people live with dominant narratives that are limiting, shaped by external pressures like family expectations, societal norms, or personal traumas. These dominant narratives often serve to reinforce negative beliefs about oneself, leading to feelings of helplessness or disempowerment. 
  The approach of narrative therapy seeks to externalize the problem—viewing the problem as separate from the person. This allows clients to step back and reflect on their issues from a more objective standpoint. For example, someone struggling with anxiety may learn to see their anxiety as a separate entity rather than an intrinsic part of their identity. By doing so, the person can begin to engage with the problem in a healthier, more manageable way.
