Perception Shift: Ep 7: Cognitive Crack: Unlocking Implicit Bias

Welcome back to the Morris Perspective Podcast with your host, Connie Morris. In Episode 7 of our "Breaking Barriers" series, we delve into the intriguing concept of "Cognitive Crack" and how it serves as a key to unlocking implicit biases. Join us as we explore how these deeply ingrained biases shape our decisions unknowingly and how cognitive crack can help bring them to the surface for transformation.

Implicit biases are unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that influence our understanding and actions. They are shaped by cultural messages, experiences, and media influences, affecting our perceptions of race, gender, age, and more. Cognitive crack occurs when an experience or interaction starkly contrasts with our subconscious beliefs, prompting us to reassess and question these attitudes. This episode guides you through steps to leverage cognitive crack for bias unlocking, emphasizing awareness, confrontation, education, and reflection.

Discover how understanding and addressing implicit biases can lead to more authentic relationships and inclusive environments. Reflect on your biases, seek new experiences, and embrace discomfort as a sign of growth. Let cognitive crack be your guide on this transformative journey towards a more equitable way of living. Tune in for insights that could change your perspective and foster a more inclusive community.
