What is healing?
b'
Melinda opens season two with a breath. She then introduces this week\\u2019s topic of healing - of healing intergenerational trauma. She tells a story going back generations of family, connection, and trauma. Melinda considers what has been passed down in her family and how we think about what we want to keep or what we want leave behind. Melinda asks us to think about healing in a world where trauma is something that happens to us and a result of oppressive systems.
\\nMelinda\\u2019s mother was a breaker of patterns - changing how relationships are defined and the expectations of holding everyone\\u2019s humanity. Melinda names how even people perpetuating harm can still be breaking cycles. Melinda asks where are we be called to heal ourselves.
\\nNext Melinda talks about what healing actually is and how liberation feels clearer. She expands our definition of healing to include how we related to and hold other people. Melinda was invited into a space to be a healer and shares how this experience helped her further understand what people expect from healing and what it actually is. She is curious about how healing is loving others and yourself fully.
\\nMelinda invites us to think about healing as really about being in relationship and journaling as something beyond self discovery. More to come on relationships and journaling this season!
