When we truly listen, we inevitably feel its pain. But what we do with that pain -how we allow it to move through us- determines whether it becomes a path toward healing or perpetuates the trauma of what has been lost.

That’s a very powerful realization. It takes courage to start listening and learning, especially when it means confronting what was never taught. Uncovering these truths requires us to face the darkness that was buried.

I appreciate your candor in confronting the deep-seated wounds of this country. Unfortunately, these wounds are not isolated, as similar injustices have occurred in many parts of the world.

You’re right—phrasing like 'ceded their land' obscures the violent reality of what happened. Many tribes were coerced, displaced, or destroyed entirely, and it’s a painful truth that demands honest acknowledgment.

It’s known as Wy’East, but there’s debate about the true origin of the name, as no evidence traces it directly to the original tribes. A number of tribes ceded their land to the US government through various treaties and were displaced to reservations.

I’d love to be added 🙋🏻‍♀️

Why did seeing these descriptors suddenly feel like a trigger 😭🤣

You forgot to bring 🍌🍞

I can’t agree with this more! How will we ever know the message from the body if we don’t give it the space and time to listen?

Love to see the spirit of the inner child taking space💛

Love this! Animals have such an incredible ability to heal and uplift the human spirit.

Love the sense of empowerment it brings you!

I’ve started integrating parts work with some of my clients and it’s been quite fascinating to watch them shift their perspectives of their more challenging parts from a desire to “fix” or eliminate, to understanding and extending compassion for the role they have played in survival/protection.
