Raw, vulnerable, healing, powerful.
I just saw ‘Left Write Hook’, a new Australian documentary that’s screening over the next week.
8 people who are survivors of sexual abuse enter a program to resolve some of the trauma they carry in their bodies.
The program involves journaling and boxing.
They’re encouraged to ground their anger as they punch the s**t out of things.
They’re also encouraged to feel deep presence with the pain as it resurfaces. And to write, and speak about this pain.
A lot of trust is established within the group where each person is fully respected, in any emotional space.
For me as someone dedicated to authentic healing – to discerning things really work – I am blown away by this program. I was teary with sadness and cried with inspiration.
The documentary is only booked for a limited run, so I can wholeheartedly recommend finding a screening near you asap!
It seems trite to give this a rating, but I would definitely say: 5/5
Here’s the link…..
