“If there is one thing I’ve learned in thirty years as a psychotherapist, it is this: If you can let your experience happen, it will release its knots and unfold, leading to a deeper, more grounded experience of yourself.

all the oceans we contain
coming to light.” —Chickasaw Indian saying (from The Book Inscriptions Project)
