Art therapists in Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand

I believe that suffering appears because of disconnection. Pain, grief, shame, guilt, sadness can be processed without suffering. It’s still hard experience and it doesn’t feel pleasant. But it’s possible to live through it without feeling miserable. Suffering appears when we get disconnected from our own bodies, our true self, from the nature, from each other. When brain disconnects from the body, logical thinking — from emotions and creativity. When we get fragmented into different parts or subpersonalities that have different needs and interests and are in conflict with each other. My purpose is to restore this connection, to restore contact, to help humans integrate all their parts into one whole. And I believe that all misunderstandings and conflicts in the world happen because of disconnection and inability to find contact and stay in contact. I see it as my mission to help humans find contact with themselves and with each other, with the planet. I'm certain that people who do horrible things were traumatised some time in the past — and trauma makes us fragmented and breaks connection. So, healing trauma and restoring connection is my way to make our world a better place to live in.
