​

Wounds, cuts, bruises and scars, emerge as visual metaphors, expressing a sense of a rupture, a mark and remnant

 

wounds cannot be left hidden or buried; they need to be seen, cared for, and tended to, for new tissue to rebuild and heal..

​

...rhythms of rupture, repair, and restoration, are intrinsic to the natural world, and to our lived experience as human beings

​

In psychodynamic theory, we are reminded that our unconscious thoughts, images and feelings seek expression, and need to be allowed to breathe, to be held, for healing to begin. In this chapter, I allow the cuts and ruptures to emerge, surface and leak, embracing the tenderness and vulnerability that may come with these feelings.
