Recess episodes

  • Inauguration & Individualism

    On Episode 2 we discuss the Inauguration and the individualistic culture that plagues our politics. White folks must begin to see the value in “we” if we ever want to begin to right our society. So many Black activists have informed my view of this reality, some of which I note below. Thanks for listening!

    Quick Note:

    The term used “crazy republicans” that was used in this episode is wrong for two reasons:

    1. It takes a term “crazy” which has been categorically used in negative contexts that can hurt those with mental disabilities. While language is an individual choice, I do not want to perpetuate this in the context I used it.
    2. Those who stormed the capital were not uneducated, simple minded, hilly billy folk like the media and others try to tell. High level government officials, Ivy League alumni, and intelligent people attacked the nations capitol. White supremacy is not something around a lack of education but an ideology that is enforced through education and systems of development.

      3. Regardless, forgive this contextual usage of the word. I will continue to strive to do better.

      • Trauma

        On Episode 1, we dive into an overview of trauma and how it could impact how we treat other people. This is no way to be comprehensive but a quick starter pack! There is so much more to learn, even for us in the field of mental health. (Also, off the top I say "welcome to another episode" even though this is the first one. Don't @ me for that, I'm just manifesting fam)

        • The Trailer

          Welcome to the trailer! My name is Reid Bervik and on this "episode" I give a very brief overview of what this podcast is going to be. On Recess, we will discuss mental health, faith deconstruction and reconstruction, and current events. I want to give a little bit of time and space to curiously engage a topic that has meaning. I'm glad you're here!
