Examining Hidden Messages

What do you implicitly believe? Our culture is full of hidden messages about our worth, priorities, and capabilities. These limiting messages can often affect us in extremely harmful ways. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI, along with special guest Dr. Christy Wilson-Mendenhall, a researcher focused on the building blocks of mental and emotional well-being. In this course, you’ll learn to identify learned behaviors that are based on harmful cultural stereotypes. You’ll also practice analyzing hidden cultural messages to notice how they limit or confine you. Finally, you’ll learn the science of ‚Äúsocial comparison” and how it easily leads to negative emotions and beliefs. After this course, you’ll have a powerful tool to help you identify hidden cultural messages and push past limiting assumptions.
