Last night in my public integration circle, the community focused on a particular topic that becomes nearer and dearer to my heart: The process of REPAIR.
•
In the context of attachment, trauma and rupture in connection, repair is everything!
•
Even more important than the occurrence of rupture, when our sense of connection to a primary caregiver is disrupted, is the process of repair.
•
It pains my heart to heart from so many how they never received the adequate reparations with their caregivers as needed, just as adequate reparations have not been made with the Chinook indigenous communities whom once tended this land on which I reside. The wound emanates out on all levels.
•
As we contemplated the process of repair, and explored what it MEANS to connect, a few things stood out..
∞ Expressing our truth is necessary. To be heard and seen, we must express our selves.
∞ Connecting through the shared empathic resonance of mutual suffering can be profound, yet is not the only way to connect.
∞ In order to truly connect with others, we must lean into our own vulnerability to expose our hearts.
∞ We will never feel fully connected until we repair with our own inner parts, including our inner child. This reparation is in fact, primary.
•
I am so grateful for the opportunity to witness these conversations and processes, the community being forged through these meetings is a true fu***ng gem. The love and respect that oozes out of each persons eyes at the end of the meeting is consistent and divine.
