Thank you for your work. As a sister survivor and one who also works with survivors through Narrative Therapy Practices and the Japaneseart of Kintsugi (mending broken pottery with glue and gold to honor and highlight the cracks rather than hide them), I'm with you in the acknowledged pain and suffering And the journey to celebrating the many intelligences and skills survivors utilize to survive. Kintsugi and its metaphors are powerful and poignant in opening conversations about healing.
It's been such a profound gift to walk together in these preferred narratives which honor that no one is a passive recipient to trauma. Grateful!
