“Trauma is contagious; but love is contagious too – that’s another thing I learned – it is the healing agent.”
I occasionally post an article which addresses a problem so foreign to my experience that it is important to hear it from another. In this post, London-based psychotherapist tells a heart-rending story about how art is allowing Ugandan adults to finally speak about being child soldiers.
It is an opportunity for each of us to realize:
I am all right right now I am all right,
and to be grateful.
