What better topic to address in times like these than Truth? I spent last week with doing just that.

Specifically, that there is truth in experience even when trauma fragments memory.

Unattended trauma and betrayal can lead a person to distrust their own experience or dissociate from it altogether.

In contrast, attentive witnesses hold the reality of experience long enough for it to be felt and known.

I’ve been splitting my time between NYC and the Hudson Valley for six years, a necessary split, as a way to get away from the noise, be nourished, and see more clearly.

Today is in NYC and, on the heels of that other collective event—our beloved marathon—it feels like the right time to tell you that the split for me is over. For the foreseeable future, I’ll be in NYC full time.

It’s time. Not because I don’t love the Hudson Valley. In fact, the Catskills are a Sacred Mother’s Body and will be a home to me forever. Rather, it’s time to come back into the fold again, to speak even more loudly about the human rights violations happening in private and collective spaces every day, to imagine and realize a way forward, in community.

Six years ago on Marathon Sunday I drove out of Brooklyn to start looking for places to take my retreat. It was a retreat I was lucky enough to share with many of you, a few people at a time. Today, with in our sights, a different kind of sharing is possible. In part, that’s because of the work many of us have done in private spaces to connect underground.

It’s time to come out from underground and come together in a way we never have before. To associate what has been dissociated. To make a giant home that delights and supports and engages our differences. This is ✨

Remember that you don’t have to be nice.

So many versions of you have been choked and buried that today want to come back through the open gates for another chance to be heard and loved in this lifetime.

It might take some fighting.

I read The Tell by in one sitting when it first came out. It’s a very approachable book about trauma and recovered memory— things that apply to more people than we’d like to believe— and it’s also about M**A as a medicine that helps to heal. In her words:

“Maybe just by virtue of deciding to take M**A, you’d already decided you were ready to confront the past. So even before the drug effects set in, you were in a more open state psychologically,” my therapist said. “You told me you knew there was a door locked inside you—that was why you were interested in having a session in the first place. The combination of M**A and your relationship with your sitter may have helped you to open it further, so you could see and feel it all with less fear, less shame, and more compassion for yourself.”

Unfortunately, the ran a smear article against this book recently. So it felt like a good time to share my thoughts on such an important book and stand in solidarity.

I’m a psychologist who experienced childhood sexual abuse and benefited from M**A treatment to face these harrowing events. I’m one of countless survivors who knows how dangerous it can be to spread misinformation and doubt on an already hostile terrain of complex trauma.

The article repeatedly referred to M**A as “illegal,” but never mentioned the mass of research on the efficacy of M**A therapy for PTSD, including CSA. Clinical trials have repeatedly shown the drug’s potential to the point that the FDA designated it as a “breakthrough therapy” warranting urgent study. They also fail to mention that 19% to 38% of those with CSA have total amnesia of it for some time. To leave out these details is highly misleading.

Bystanders have an influential role in determining how traumatic events will be understood. I won’t suffer those who shame victims and sympathize with perpetrators, even through the everyday culture of silence.

There is a source of healing that many of us know we must approach for the sake of survival, and to be able to love those who are in our care now.

Let there be beauty, magic, nurturance, and possibility, even where there only stood fear. ❤️✨

A few days in for my favorite reason ✨

I’ll cross an ocean for love any day.

And I’ll share loudly the promise that we can still meet across differences and build bridges to another world through curiosity, joy, and pleasure. 💖✨

Mental health workers and the patients in need of critical care have been directly targeted in G@za As a humanitarian psychologist I need to be very clear that this is not acceptable. When people are seeking treatment for trauma and get attacked, this is continuous trauma caused by human actors.

is an attempt to destroy medical knowledge and the ability to provide medical care. For the love of humanity, let us fight for the ability to keep on giving care.

My formal training as a psychologist is refined every day by a more primary and originary devotion to the Goddess — who sometimes looks like the light juxtaposing trauma, sometimes psychedelics, sometimes deep ecology, sometimes mystical experience. ✨

It’s breakdown times and despite the chaos that this brings, I loved talking about it with .gentile last weekend.

I no longer want to be a megaphone for the tools of patriarchy. The chaos that we’re in now is also a creation point. It’s a portal. To remember that we already have a sacred Mother who can hold us in our differences and show us the way of belonging.

Thinking of today and how when I met her in Megeve so many summers ago she had a table brought outside under the trees to follow the sun and the shade where she could write in perfect, always changing relationship to the elements. And how when she asked me what I wanted to drink and I asked what she was having (is 3pm time for tea, or coffee, or an aperitif, in her part of the world??) she told me matter of factly: “I didn’t ask what I’m having, I asked what you’re having!” ✨ Apropos for a woman who names difference as an essential element of our being.

And who names that difference as the thing that attracts and drives us forward: “Desire is that which maintains the motion towards the absolute.” 🔥

Too many brown leaves to pretend it’s summer anymore, but I’ll still be outside for a while. ✍🏼✍🏼🍂

Finally got to to see “Higher Love” about ps!chedelics and s!x.

Coinciding with a paper I’m giving in a few weeks called “We’re Going to Need a Bigger Mother.” An unexpected surprise that she found me here ⭕️🌀💘

What do I mean a “bigger mother”? Not another woman who can fill the functions of a mother better than one’s own (though it’s true, we do sometimes need that). I mean a universal, primordial maternal force that knows how to connect us, is vigilant about the real threats that are about, and provides refuge in order to foster our collective survival, our rage, and our power.

This is ps!chedelic — as in, “manifesting the the psyche” — albeit on a collective level.

And this exhibit — Why might anyone go looking to ps!chedelics for healing and a transformed relationship to s!x?

If you swipe more ➡️➡️ I put this in some of today’s context, the US president’s incriminating birthday letter to Epstein which reported. It’s in a book that has an entire section called “children.” (Thanks for always calling this out loud and clear). When confronted with this reality, all this patriarchal leader and his cronies could do was deny it to the point of suing the paper! in action folks. Every d@mn day.

So yes, we’re going to need a bigger mother. We sometimes need medicines that can take us deep inside and into deep time to find Her, the protective force that doesn’t deny or stand limply by, that loves with ecstatic power and pleasure.

So many reasons to be excited about this book before I even started it…. A book about displacement from land and body, about motherhood and surrogacy. But from the first page it gets better. Inside the archetype of Scheherazade, .n.alyan knows the power of a story that doesn’t just happen to someone, but is told into being. That imagines what a life could be after so much has been lost, and channels every ounce of desire toward making that life a reality.

This is everything I crave in writing the maternal body.

“Of course I loved Scheherazade. She’d studied her s**t. She was quick on her feet. She’d prepared for the role of her life before it started. She saw the world in terms of cliffhangers and incentives, what would hold others’ interest. She knew what people wanted before they did. She understood the stakes of an untold story.

And she was the best fu***ng liar around.

The lies were necessary. They were how she survived, of course. What I’d like to know is: what stories would she have told if she wasn’t trying to survive, but live? What is it to tell a story not out of fear but of love?”
