Healing Well Counseling

Be a safe person. Suspended judgement, listen with your heart for both the said and unsaid things.

"Breathe,” said the wind.

How can I breathe at a time like this,
when the air is full of the smoke
of burning tires, burning lives?

“Just breathe,” the wind insisted.

Easy for you to say, if the weight of injustice
is not wrapped around your throat,
cutting off all air.

“I need you to breathe.
I need you to breathe.”

Don’t tell me to be calm
when there are so many reasons
to be angry, so much cause for despair!

“I didn’t say to be calm,” said the wind,
“I said to breathe.
We’re going to need a lot of air
to make this hurricane together.”

There are many non obvious trauma responses.
This is just a few of them.
It's needed to learn which trauma responses we have that affect us negatively.
