there is great power in imaginative creativity that allows us to enter into the dark caverns of our past trauma and face those childhood monsters that taunted us all those years—those fears we now call fear and shame, among other things.
doing so as our adult self allows us to emerge out from those cold caverns into the warmth of healing and wholehearted living. When we share our stories, we come together and know we are worthy of being seen, heard and known.
