Releasing Anxiety

Dear Seekers,

When I was looking for the words to describe what we do in the Spoke Space, the phrase "a joyful place to move through hard things" came to mind. Can therapy and trauma recovery be joyful, many have asked me? I believe if we make space for it, we make it possible. Grief is the bed-maiden of joy. We often find that the things that bring us the most joy (our silly children, our loving partners, an incredible sexual experience in our bodies) also bring up sorrow or anger (our persistent children, our maddening partners, feelings dissatisfied with and in our bodies).
