Life Defense and Trauma
Conflict and stress principles are universal, and are the same for all cultures, throughout history and culture.
In 1936 Hans Selye did some pretty intense experiments on rats and concluded that when extreme stress was repeatedly administered, basically the equivalent of rat waterboarding, it surprisingly caused issues. By 1951 other scientists were confused, and complained about Selye's definition of stress, and one physician concluded in a 1951 issue of the British Medical Journal that, "Stress in addition to being itself, was also the cause of itself, and the result of itself."
No one has agreed what stress is, or isn't for a long time. Our discussion is that most stress is caused by conflict, and is a load or energy, that can be redirected into positive outcomes. Principles of conflict, or stress redirection are mostly ignored in education today, and yet is a tremendous source of untapped energy.
Understanding principles of conflict, or stress becomes increasingly important as it directly relates to violence. The fact is that energy redirected by young people who understand this concept may also "redirect" domestic violence, and could potentially feed the world.
- Create discussion around why safety should include an informed position of empowerment through practice of conflict resolution principles.
- Create discussion around “life defense”as a coordinated power model and more powerful for individuals, and the group as a whole, through safe participation and diversity.
- Create discussion around the Bessel Van der Kolk's "body up" approach of kinesthetic learning based on self defense for empowerment and “life defense.”
