From the Compassionate Inquiry blog, written with Laura Latina:

Few of us had safety growing up,
Safe to be ourself,
To express our truth,
To have our 'no,'
To be angry at injustice,
To have all our feelings…

“Be ground, be crumbled. So wild flowers will come up where you are. You have been stony for too many years. Try something different. Surrender.” ~ Rumi

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. ~ Erich Fromm

Self-love is the magic elixir, the ingredient that allows goodness to manifest… not the gooey, aren’t-I-wonderful kind of love, but the humbling love and acceptance for all that lives inside of me, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

“When humans lost the community midwife… they lost the glue that held the community together.” ~ Gabor Maté

Anger can be frightening and confusing for many of us, yet it is essential for our wellbeing. Anger says ‘no’ when things have gone too far.

There is so much focus on trauma these days, and I’m really glad of that. Trauma has been the elephant in the living room both individually and collectively.
