When the Healers Need Healing Every day, counsellors, therapists, and health workers across the globe step into rooms filled with pain, trauma, and human suffering. They listen, they empathize, they guide pouring their emotional energy into helping others heal. But who is listening to them? Who holds space for the healers when the weight of […]
We talk about rest constantly. We tell each other to slow down, to unplug, to take a vacation. Wellness culture has turned recovery into an industry sleep trackers, meditation apps, productivity podcasts that devote entire episodes to the importance of doing nothing.

“Practice self-care” is common advice—especially when life feels overwhelming. But not everything we call self-care is actually care.

“I can’t do anything right. There’s something wrong with me.” My daughter said these words quietly, almost as if she didn’t want me to hear them. But I did. And the moment I did, something in my chest cracked open. I knew that feeling. I’d carried it my entire childhood. I thought I’d escaped. I’d […]
