25.01.2022 All knowledge is constructed. . To see that all knowledge is a construction and that truth is a matter of the context in which it is embedded is to greatly expand the possibilities of how to think about anything . Theories become not truth but models for approximate experience.... . See more
24.01.2022 I will allow all my subpersonalities, contradictory impulses, alien wills, strange desires, forbidden needs to live together within my self. . I accept that I will always be more than I can know. The complexities that have been interwoven to form me are equal to the complexities of being itself. . I can no more comprehend the width, height, depth of myself than I can embrace the totality of the world. ... . Thus knowing that I will never be the all-knower, I learn to accept what I cannot comprehend. . Loving myself, I respect the mystery that I am. . I open myself to be more than I can ever know. .

17.01.2022 Vicarious resilience . People are worried that by working with the mentally ill, the traumatised, the most vulnerable in the community that I’m going to burn out.. that it’s going to break my heart. . In fact the opposite is true. Vicki Reynolds puts this perfectly. I am seeing the Nelson Mandela’s of the world and If I ever got the opportunity to met Mr. Mandela I wouldn’t ask him how he was raped, beaten or how he was humiliated. I would ask him, Mr Mandela how is it po...ssible that you have witnessed the destruction and torture of your family and people and you still have room in your heart to love white people at all? How did you do that? . That’s the conversation I have with people.. . I’ve had years of having conversations with people with the most amazing people. I don’t have a brain full of rape and trauma, I have stories of resilience and resistance. The wisdom is not in the wound, it’s in the resistance. . My clients have changed me as a person, in real accountable ways. They challenge me, inspire me, call me out, call me in, provoke me, inspire me. . If someone can live through an experience, I can be there to bare witness to it. See more
10.01.2022 FYI This little cup has changed the way I experience my periods! . Zero waste! . No strings, no wings, no leaks! ... . Free from harmful chemicals, fragrances. (FYI with tampons you’re putting bleached cotton into a very sensitive part of the body) . Never have to buy pads or tampons again! . It can be a clunky the first time you use one, but there is plenty of info/videos out there to get a few tips! . Art from @kajsarasten_art See more
01.01.2022 Be with me (please) . . Can I trust you with my pain? ... To treat it with kindness and respect? To listen to it, So I can speak the unspoken? Will you help me catch the tears As the floodgates open? Swim with me into the unknown? Save me from drowning in my sorrow? If I entrust you with my grief, will you help me take care of it? Console it? Soothe it? Make it feel safe? Will you accept is as a gift to be protected? If I take the risk and end the drought, will you leave me alone and sodden after the storm? Will you reach for your umbrella, and just walk away? I feel my need and I fear it as I fear all that I do not understand, yet I ask you to be with me, for I am tired of walking alone. -Jan Sutton and William Stewart
