We've all been through a great deal. Whether survival in nature, or purposefully stressful scenarios and challenges, but I think this last one takes the cake when it comes to cruelty. If anyone is having trouble with what they have lived through, or done, or even observed, I'd like to set up a time where we can perhaps talk about that in a judgement-free space. I had been thinking just a group where we could all talk about what we're processing and having trouble with, but if people would prefer smaller groups or even individual counseling, I wanted to offer my services.
I'm not a therapist, exactly, but in the course of my work as a Catholic priest, I've been trained in and led grief, relationship, and spiritual counseling and I've worked pretty broadly in conflict-torn regions. I also was about 90% dead when I got here, so understand the grappling with mortality. I can't promise to fix things, but I can listen, maintain confidentiality, and I won't judge.
