It’s now a vital part of trauma-informed therapy and healing - this idea that one’s trauma can actually be a source of strength and resiliency, rather than just pain and suffering. It also happens to be something that humanity has practiced for as long as it has existed. It’s a life practice that is not very easy to digest at first in a society where we expect life to be pristine and perfect. But once acknowledged, it can provide measures of strength and resiliency that you never thought you had and (this is the hard part) might never have found had you not faced the trauma you faced. When you face the fiery gates of hell that your trauma has led you to, no doubt you burn with pain and suffering, but in that raging heat, the inner steel in you cures and toughens. It becomes far stronger than it ever would have been had you not gone through that experience. In today's episode we explore the healing process of post-traumatic growth using our warrior souls.

It can be particularly devastating when a human being is violated by others of the same species. And we are pretty much singularly unique as a species in terms of perpetrating evil and conducting heinous acts with no other purpose other than dehumanization. Rape. Murder. Abuse. Humiliation. Torture. Brutality. Heartlessness. Cruel authoritarianism. Misogyny. Mass violence. And countless other forms of anthropocentric evil; countless other types of vile dehumanization; countless other ways humans have learnt to inflict suffering upon each other and upon our non-human family. The resulting trauma lasts a lifetime. The pain and hurt is even tougher to deal with if we feel like justice, however we might define it, has not been served.  Considering how few of these incidents of trauma come to light and how most forms of “justice” are in the hands of some of the most unjust, traumatizing institutions this world has ever seen, such as the authoritarian state and its armed mercenaries, it’s safe to say that the overwhelming majority of trauma inflicted by humans upon other humans does not see true justice being served. But that doesn’t mean we cannot heal. It doesn’t mean we cannot liberate ourselves. And it certainly doesn’t mean that your trauma has defeated you. This piece is aimed at taking a step towards healing and liberating oneself from such trauma... We're back with yet another day in the life of the happiest guy...my name is Sri.

One of the most important ones has been this core life value of upholding my responsibilities towards loved ones, having their backs to the best of my ability, and grounding care in the craziness of real life. It's actually pretty simple and quite beautiful. We care deeply for our people and we want to be there for them to the best of our abilities, and we want them to be there for us to the best of theirs. I think it might also be called love or something, but let's not get mushy here. Now, being a cis-male, i.e. a dude (and a self-hating one at that), this life value also comes with shitty baggage around patriarchy. It's so very easy to go into gender-oppressive modalities when it comes to upholding responsibilities. Social and cultural values the world over abound with extremely problematic  frameworks for the way men uphold their responsibilities towards their loved ones and their children. Make no mistake, I believe that we all have very, very important responsibilities towards our community and family. I just think it has to begin with the fight against internalized patriarchy and it has to be done in egalitarian partnership with our loved ones. It makes it far easier to prevent regressive, sexist frameworks from taking root...I explore all this and more in this podcast It is 2016 and we're back with yet another day in the life of the happiest guy...my name is Sri.

My partner and I (and our little one growing in her belly) recently returned from a vacation where we got to spend some quality time with our community of loved ones in the American Midwest (mostly Minneapolis and Iowa), strengthening the bonds of love we share with them, while simultaneously growing fonder of our community of loved ones in Toronto and Bangalore, thereby strengthening those bonds as well. I’d like to say we had fun doing all that bond-strengthening while on vacation, but I’d be lying if I did.

The number of men that have provided any of that to me are a mere handful, a tiny fraction of the women and trans people who have done the same for me. I have talked about this with many, many people – in my community, among my loved ones, my friends and acquaintances – men, women, and trans alike. They all come back, in an uncannily uniform way, with the same answer – love, freedom, healing, and goodness in general come from the women and trans people in their lives (exceptions notwithstanding), while most of the violence, abuse, and oppression come from the men (again, and I repeat, exceptions notwithstanding).
