β€œWhen you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well.

It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.

Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person.

But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.

Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument.

That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change."

β€”Thich Nhat Hanh

' Getting ready for another zoom workshop, What the Medical Community Needs to Know About Sx Trafficking.

Survivor centered care is a necessity. When the medical community learns from those who are making money to "save" us...the medical community is learning how to work with cops and greedy NGOs...oftentimes learning the same harmful practices those organizations are participating in.

They are NOT learning about what survivors need.

We need to shift the narrative to the reality of what survivors need and want...because the funding is there...but the resources we want are not available to us survivors.

' β€œAnd do what?” said Buck, baffled.
β€œDo?” said Harrison. β€œDo? That’s just it, my boy. All of the doors have been closed. There’s nothing to do but to find a womb suitable for an adult, and crawl into it. One without machines would suit me particularly.”
β€œWhat have you got against machines?” said Buck.
β€œThey’re slaves.”
β€œWell, what the heck,” said Buck. β€œI mean, they aren’t people. They don’t suffer. They don’t mind working.”
β€œNo. But they compete with people.”
β€œThat’s a pretty good thing, isn’t itβ€”considering what a sloppy job most people do of anything?”
β€œAnybody that competes with slaves becomes a slave,” said Harrison thickly, and he left. '

' This course is an experiential, online course for care workers as broadly defined with an emphasis on mental health/psychology but also including medicine, bodywork and other healing modalities, home and nursing health aides, etc.

Guided by four denials (e.g., denial of systemic violence, denial of unsustainability, denial of entanglement and denial of the magnitude of the challenges) we will focus specifically on how care work and care workers are complicit in each, and how psychology and wellness keep systems like modernity, capitalism and colonialism on life support.

We end each session and the course with gesturing toward a decolonial care work that rekindles our connection with the planetary metabolism rather than individual wellness, transforms our relationship to pain and grief, and supports us in becoming better elders and ancestors to our human and other-than-human relations.

In a private group discussion: "My experience of being shocked looking at this infographic and realizing that most of these things are taken away from the severely affected survivors of violence at our intersections. We must act to restore their access to these crucial modalities." β€’ facebook.com/share/pPjM7BBm27ifbhjR β€’ t.me/IntuitiveCare/129
