How do we move from 'cycles of suffering' to 'cycles of resilience' in ways that intertwine the personal and the collective dynamics? Anjuli Sherin, LMFT, shares with us her insights as a therapist and a person who has experienced and is witness to these intersections in her clients' lives. We discuss uncurling, polyvagal theory, activism, how individual and collective healing are intertwined, and engaging joy and laughter amidst adversity and suffering.
