“More and more, it feels clear that those of us in mental health fields or whose work involves holding space for others, are being asked to widen the frame. To invite healing ways that are more decolonial, animist, accountable to community, and in active solidarity with working-class people and the Global South. Not because every healing space needs to become overtly political, but because no psyche exists in isolation. We are shaped by and entangled with the worlds we inhabit, and individualism has taught many of us to forget that. In a world strained to its limits by militarism, supremacy, extraction, and corporate greed, tending the psyche cannot be separated from tending the conditions of life itself. Inner work matters deeply and so does water, housing, labor, land, policy, and the relationships that make inner life possible. A focus on healing one individual psyche is inseparable from the state of the world. We don’t care for marine ecosystems one fish at a time.”

If you follow the path this is what is waiting for you. Keeping it simple so your partner and children want to be around you for life.
