The third session of the “Writing Dance Healing” program was held at Elles, focusing on exploring the emotions associated with saying “no” and reflecting on the anxiety triggered by others’ reactions when expressing one’s true feelings honestly.
The session included a reading and discussion of Chapter Seven of “The Body Keeps the Score” by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, as part of the program’s ongoing reading journey. The discussion examined insecure attachment, the impact of early trauma, and the possibilities of rebuilding healthier patterns of attachment.
The session concluded with a collective iftar, bringing participants together in a warm Ramadan atmosphere of connection and shared reflection, where contemplation, knowledge, and companionship met at one table.
