Arms Relate to the World
Our arms are structured to fluidly express our physical boundaries.
Appears in the book Presence After Trauma
Our arms are structured to fluidly express our physical boundaries.
When we trust our structure, our whole body relaxes, expands, and breathes more easily.
When we stop fighting our shadows, we see ourselves and the rest of the world.
Physical movement in your avenue of expression creates sound. Immobility is silent.
Relaxation is surrender, not to someone else, but to your present truth.
When we acknowledge defensiveness, we can open into curiosity and maintain connections with people around us.
Change in a victim cannot fix a perpetrator's problem. We all have vulnerabilities, and we deserve to be treated with kindness around them.
We live in a web of privilege and marginalization that affects how we express boundaries.
Survivors face denial, hostility, and pressure to consider themselves less important than the perpetrator.
