“There is nothing more extraordinary than, when you can resource your body enough, get enough support, to embody the people that have harmed you. It’s such a lesson in understanding intergenerational trauma. That  there are no villains or victims. But that, as Gabor Maté says, there’s a lot of hurting people. “
