23.01.2022 It’s the power imbalance that’s at stake every time. Abusers abuse because they know they have many layers of protection along with enablers available to them. Victim or survivors are lead to believe they are supported to bring about justice. Yet it’s window dressing policy mainly driven by the insurance company agenda to minimise liability. Behind closed doors the abusers culture will be insisting Ms Higgins follows a particular way forward that protects the employer and by default the perpetrator. Hence in this case the perpetrator is unnamed while the victims been forced to go public.
18.01.2022 This is frightening, disturbing, and stressful to watch and absorb. What can we do if this man can do nothing?
16.01.2022 This triggering time of the year can be harsh for some of us. If that’s you remember there’s plenty by your side. Maybe consider taking time to breath under the stars. If you listen long enough, your heart and the stars speak the same language.....
13.01.2022 Peace is not true peace without justice. MLK
11.01.2022 No wonder they want him silenced.
10.01.2022 What’s been stolen covertly, will be reclaimed publicly. It’s the consequence.
06.01.2022 Depression is frozen feeling. It’s seldom a disease of the ‘mind’. It’s a disease of the heart. It is sourced in unexpressed, unreleased, and unhealed pain that... is held deep within the physical and emotional body. You can talk about it in therapy to soften its edges, you can medicate it in the hopes that it becomes more manageable, but the real work has to happen somatically, deep within the body itself. The frozen material has to be thawed out, worked through, released. Our shadow is not our enemy. Repression is. Unfortunately, we still live in a world that is afraid of the source material. So we shun it, bury it, ‘manage’ it with dissociative spiritualities, medications and analysis (‘excessive analysis perpetuates emotional paralysis’). All of this merely perpetuates and concretizes the problem. The only way to heal depression is to get to its roots. To get right inside those frozen feelings, and to thaw them out somatically. We felt the initial pain in our hearts. We must go right back inside of our hearts to feel and resolve it. No more damming up of our emotions. No more defenses and denials. Instead, a society-wide acceptance of the fact that we are all carrying pain. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. It's part of our collective experience. And a culturally embraced invitation to do the real work to heal its deep roots with body-centered psychotherapies. And with love. The more we can love those who are struggling with depression, the more strength they will have to reclaim their past and heal their hearts. They didn’t have support back then. Let’s give it to them, now. Let’s create a safe societal container to bring those feelings back to the surface. THE FEEL IS FOR REAL. Let's feel our way back to life... (*this is intrinsic to the message at the heart of my book, 'Grounded Spirituality')
