Our world can be oppressive and challenging. Many of us have experienced the trauma, even when we also enjoy life. You may experience constant stress, fear, chaos, conflict, numbness, hopelessness, doubts about your self-worth, or self-sabotaging behaviors. Maybe you can identify a specific source or maybe you really don't know where it all comes from. You are invited to seek your own healing and growth - liberation from your trauma, whether individual or generational, interpersonal or racialized, chronic or acute.
Welcome to a warm, safe space, a journey of healing and growth - setting your own goals and your own pace. With a variety of mindfulness-based approaches, we will learn what works for you. You have everything you need within you. my role is to help you gain insight, identify how you wish to change, cultivate hope, and develop the skills to practice rest, joy, peace, and purpose.
One of the most important gifts we can provide is to share insightful resources that can spark and support another's growth. On these pages, we will post updated and curated ideas, practices, links and references. These will not all come from professionals! You are invited to send your favorite practices, links and readings to enrich others in the W&P community.
Note: Not all resources, while curated, can be throughly fully vetted and evaluated, so we cannot vouch for each and every idea or publication we share. Please enjoy reading and practicing, while you exercise discernment and ask a lot of questions!
When you find something useful. when you have an insight, when you develop a new practice, please use the Contact Form below to suggest it! I will review what you submit and share it when I confirm that it may be useful for others.
One of the most essential features of humans is that we seek connection with others. We know this: for example, the Zulu word Ubuntu roughly translates to "I am because we are." And the science of mirror neurons now confirms it! In one another, we find comfort, challenge, witness, support, and simply understanding. We need one another to know ourselves.
Yet an unnatural and limiting feature of mental health care, stemming frankly from a white patriarchal, medical model, is the isolation and disconnectedness of the conventional therapeutic expectation of "privacy." Even in group therapy, the primary relationship is between therapist and clients, not the mutuality of peer connection. Healing can be greatly enriched by sharing one's journey, safely and confidentially.
Stay tuned for new GROUPS in 2024 that allow you to join other clients, respecting the Code of Ethics and your privacy, to serve as healers for one another.
