In this conversation, Monique interviews Heather Stringer, a licensed therapist, about her work with trauma and rituals. Heather shares her experience of using rituals as a form of processing trauma and making it known and significant. She describes a ritual she created for a woman who was reclaiming her femininity and how it helped her embody a new story. Heather emphasizes the importance of involving the body in the healing process and the power of community in supporting and witnessing the ritual. She also discusses the possibility of conducting rituals online and the significance of incorporating simple rituals into daily life.Keywordstrauma, rituals, processing, significance, embodiment, community, healing, online, daily lifeTakeaways
