Perhaps you’ve been contemplating therapy for a long time. Or you may be nurturing a burgeoning curiosity. You might have tread this path before, searching for — and even finding — a certain type of connection, of co‑creation, of care. You could be re‑turning, re‑membering, re‑visioning. Or you may be finally, necessarily tending to an emotional, embodied, psychopoliticospiritual wisdom — an insistent yearning for the dignity and justice of healing and holding, of compassion and inquiry, of transformative communion and change. Maybe — until now — there wasn’t time, there wasn’t space for this sort of close and care‑full noticing and listening and feeling and grace. You might be wary or defiant, resolute then ambivalent, utterly exhausted by the prospect and fiercely open — with critical but crucial hope — to all the possibility and purpose and paradox…and pain.
