The quick fix is almost always a lie

When one understands the interconnectedness of everything it becomes clear that healing must borrow from all corners of experience…

“Cure” is rarely one thing applied to the whole. Healing is instead a dance of many things synergistically coming together for wholeness.

The quick fix is almost always a lie. I’ve been learning about how we are deeply holistic and everything matters since I’ve been recovering from the psychiatric drug iatrogenesis (medical drug induced illness and disability). I write about my adventures in healing more here: Everything Matters: a Memoir From Before, During and After Psychiatric Drugs

• Wounding and healing are not opposites

• healing and life

• The healing and growth process
