Be Social

 

"the only things worth knowing about another human being are what you learn in the activity of building something together . . . For what we create [together] is an extension, continuation, and completion - of ourselves."

 --Dr. Fred Newman

 

In a culture that worships the individual and so-called independence, it is important to remember that we are a social species and interdependent. 

 

To live an emotionally healthy life, we need to attend to how we are building our lives together.

Living a life in and for community has been my salvation, and offers a rich, rewarding way of being in the world.

 

As a group therapist, I help people in emotional pain socialize their lives, create together an emotional support team. This helps us break out of the constraints of viewing our difficulties only as ‘private’ or inside ourselves.

 

Playing together helps us discover new ways of living.  Check out the Global Play Brigade for free playshop offerings
