The Roots of Personal Pain
Trauma is part of the human story. Our evolution as species has given us the capability to cause great harm to all things — the most injurious being that which we inflict upon One another.
We have not survived because of our ability to do harm, but because of our profound capacity to heal. Resilience achieved through healing becomes the strength that allows us to persevere.
The kind of relationship we have to our very personal pain is dependent upon us confronting how our woulds are seeped in intergenerational, historical, and often systemic trauma.
Our reflexive reaction to trauma is that it feels personal, but trauma is never an individual experience. Each traumatic injury carries the painful burden of our collective, unhealed wounds. Whether we survive or self-destruct is determined by how we tend to these wounds.
By working to heal the ghosts of our interconnected past, we have the opportunity to meaningfully shift those present behaviors that have lead to destruction and re-traumatization.
Our survival is in acting with an intentionality that honors our innate connection to One another.
Healing is how we survive.
