Blame Shifting and Capitalizing on Fear with Dr. Karyne Messina (Part II)

E234 • Oct 19, 2022 • 23 mins

In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge engages in a stimulating conversation with Dr. Karyne Messina about her new book, power imbalances, and the impact of fear on business and leadership. They discuss the rising mental health issues due to global events and the importance of connection in these uncertain times. The conversation also delves into blame shifting, conflict resolution, and authentic leadership.

Key Points

  • Understanding the concept of blame shifting and not accepting blame for things one didn't do can lead to a healthier mindset and better conflict resolution.
  • Staying informed and engaged, even at the local level, is crucial for navigating the current climate of fear and uncertainty in society.
  • Open conversations and listening to opposing viewpoints without judgment can help individuals and communities move forward and create a path for history together.

Quote: “It’s good to listen to the other side. Listening to people in an atmosphere of respect without judging them, no matter what they say, just listen to the other side and their perspectives.” Dr. Karyne Messina

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/blame-shi...

We have seen a major shift in the political landscape over the last several years. It seems that we have become fairly desensitized to hearing outrageous statements made by those in power. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are thrilled to welcome back Dr. Karyne Messina to talk about populist leaders and how they systematically create chaos in order to divide the parties and keep everyone off balance.

Karyne is a licensed psychologist, psychoanalyst, and author. Her previous books include Misogyny, Projective Identification, and Mentalization: Psychoanalytic, Social and Institutional Manifestations (Routledge, 2019) and Aftermath: Healing from the Trump Presidency, Washington, DC (IPI Press, 2020). Her latest book, Resurgence of Global Populism: A Psychoanalytic Study of Projective Identification, Blame-Shifting and the Corruption of Democracy (Routledge Publishing, August 2022), offers evidence of how populists can wrest power and sow discord while eroding democratic processes in a slow decline towards authoritarianism.
