Part of the healing from a trauma comes from purposeful and meaningful activity to repair the wound.  Certes it is that psychoanalysis, psychoadynamic, CBT, REM desensitization, blogging, etc all are active.  But activity to repair the immediate ego-blow is only part of it.  Part two:  Heal the wound by healing the world.  What can you do to make this a better world so others don't suffer.  Severn went on to become a child analyst.  Thomas was already a doctor and she found the White Institute.  So many traumatized went on to help and heal others.  

What else is there--active participating.  Not passive sitting and listening (although that is probably better than nothng).  But higher up on the pyramid of healing--leading an activity.  Volunteering.  

Even if you are the only one who cares.  Especially when you are the only one who cares.  Though all mock you--be that still small voice.

We give a shout out to Dr. Sharon Kahn, who goes out to the Promenade nightly, wishes all safety, healing, and wisdom, and sings songs in furtherance of this, as well as of joy.
