The Session Series

For everyone working through personal struggles, on top of global grief and chaos, exacerbated by existential dread, I just want to say - I see you.

If you are feeling everything that is going on in your bones, and body, and through a perpetually clenched jaw and brain fog interrupted and furthered by rage, nothing is wrong with you. Everything is wrong around you - and us - and this is the appropriate bodily response to danger.

Resilience and resistance will look different and feel different for each of us, because our bodies know survival and have adapted in our own ways. So wherever you find yourself today, lean into what you can do, where you can resist and how you can show up for yourself and others.

While it feels like there is very little up side to this chapter and these moments of collective and individual trauma, one thing is different from how we have experienced this before — this time we are not alone. Isolation is not the call or impulse - it’s community. Shame is not silencing the voice - outrage is fueling it.

How do we not give our power to the abuse, and to the trauma? We name it. We call it out. We reject the shame and we place it on the perpetrator. We fill ourselves with our power, with consciousness, and with so much truth that we are larger than life — because we are. When we come together we are quite literally larger than our one life and that is a force more powerful than any voice or platform trying to threaten or gaslight us.

That’s all for now, but more to come.
