I often encounter people who are seeing from the same lens I do in different fields. If you follow me, you’ll see I have a very different perspective on trauma.
Trauma is frequently cast as pathology, which produces a cycle of shame. I think of trauma as value-neutral congestion and cast it as potential. When we think of it as potential, this can lead to human flourishing.

It will be because of and through our humanity that we heal, not in spite of it. It will be because of our body and its power and resilience. Once we land in our body and access the mystical state, our humanity and trauma becomes what fuels our growth.
