Christian Pankhurst

For years I believed the purpose of a relationship was to heal, and I was teaching relational work at the time. Then my therapist called it a doorway into enmeshment and told me to stop.

So much of the healing world is organised around getting rid of things. Fixing what's broken, removing what's wrong with us. But whatever we try to get rid of tends to get stronger. A reflection on trauma, sensitivity, and the difference between erasing your history and alchemising it.
