Trust me

It is safe to say that my understanding – and obsession – with rupture and repair has deepened to reflect shades of risk and rescue in its depths. These elements arose in the form of embodied awareness which had informed my response to the ups and downs an inquiry within and beyond the therapeutic space. The most impressionable one was a momentous rupture that has emerged not just as a point of discomfort, but also a transformation moved by risk taking and trust to allow repair to organically emerge. This is the poignant beauty that I am enamoured with…It might also be a reflection of what Stephen K Levine (2019) has posited that, “beauty is experienced as a sensory phenomenon, not as a judgement arising from perfection or form” (2019, p. 84).
