I know the therapy world well enough to say this: we’ve spent years teaching people to regulate their nervous systems while the world around them stays fragmented. We’ve made healing into individual work when the wound is collective, which only deepens the initial wound that’s causing all the pain.
But here’s what I’ve learned. You can start belonging right now, before the system changes. The work of finding your people, of showing up for them, of creating spaces where people are tended to instead of extracted from, starts now, with you. It’s personal and it’s collective at once.
So tell me: what systemic abandonment have you felt in your body? Where do you see institutional abuse woven so deep into everyday life that we’ve stopped naming it? And what does your own movement toward connection look like right now?
