Lessons From The Therapy Room About Race and Open Heartedness
In the midst of racial violence, it is essential to remember that submission and open-heartedness are key to understanding. I hope that we can see what is ugly--both in our world and in our own minds--and still have the hope and resilience to work to repair that brokenness. It's not easy, but there is hope and joy if we let ourselves be a part of this process of healing.
