What am I healing?
Another aspect of healing and therapy is the idea that it is a solo journey. There is a dominant ‘speak’ that assumes the domination culture world is the right way to live and that we are flawed if we find it a struggle, and to get better is to be able to fit into it without complaining.
That healing is to do with returning or training the body to feel safety in society, and that this comes from within, because safety is out there for the taking, when in actual fact the source of danger is society itself and the lack of social justice, even for the privileged whose status can be cancelled at any moment, let alone for the oppressed, marginalised and excluded.
Healing, for me, equals empowerment, practising finding joy in the midst of struggle, making a relationship with the world where you love and trust yourself as a fully participating member of your community unafraid to be seen and heard.

The path of healing is a love of life and DRM helps us to notice how language shapes that journey
