A short intro…

Possibilities

Hello,

Welcome! Thanks for stopping in. I’m writing this first post as an introduction and to set some intentions for our little corner of the web.

There are details about me here but this blog is about us. In this space, you will find some of my musings as well as writings from my peers, my mentors and some phenomenal women I have the pleasure of knowing. I do believe the more diverse voices we have in one space, the louder we get.

I started studying trauma a few years ago and it changed me. It affected my personal work and it gave a direction for my practice. Most recently, I have spent time reflecting on the concept of “Food Trauma”. At some point in our lives, a relationship with food has changed us. It is a complex and often underestimated matter to which I feel very drawn to as well as how its affect on our minds and bodies. I hope to share some of my research in my own words.

More over, I will attempt to make psychodynamic theory more accessible. Finding clear and concise words for complicated concepts has been a key element of my process. As I often say, having words for emotions can feel liberating and validating. Some of my most esteemed colleagues have this talent and I hope to have them write for us.

It is only a beginning. We will grow and we will expand in relational ways.

This is a safe place. This is a diverse place. This is a love place.

Unconsciously yours,

Mélanie
