Tales of Recovery ~ Numbing, Cultural Anesthesia and Trauma

Numbing, Cultural Anesthesia and Trauma- one of the top three obstacles that get in the way of healing by SENSING and allowing emotions to flow through our bodies. How are you anesthesising? Is it worth it? I did it for years an years, an appropiate response to the pain I coud not handle back in my teens and early 20's.

Tales of Recovery -There is a War Outside because there is a War Inside

There is a War Outside Because there is a War Inside. Grief. Pain. Oppressive Systems that do not work. May we wake up and reach out to our communities.

Tales of Recovery -Beyond Beliefs is Experience

Beyond Beliefs is YOUR Experience~ Tales of Recovery this week : Embracing the Inward Journey that includes having swam in the river of "kool-aid" and programmed and outdated beliefs. Why did I ever think the christian church was the place to be? Because of programing, the need to belong and downright seeking to be 'safe'. As time went by and my body was shutting down, the business aspect of this organization was quite questionable AND the apologetics were just not coming through- I LEFT. But it...
