Diversity and Inclusion; Biases in Pandemic Times: a talk with Kate Lingren

The podcast explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals and the potential for increased bias, featuring Kate Lingren, a clinical social worker and IFS therapist. Lingren discusses how IFS helps her and her clients cope with anxiety and catastrophic thinking during these uncertain times, emphasizing the importance of embodied confidence. She notes the pandemic may exacerbate existing biases, citing examples like the term "Chinese virus" and debates about prioritizing treatment for younger individuals. Lingren highlights the role of shame in keeping biased beliefs unconscious and advocates for normalizing and embracing parts that carry these beliefs with curiosity. She shares her journey into mental health and how IFS has transformed her work with couples and individuals.
