GOOD SISTER BAD SISTER (Workshop)

There are two ways of going crazy: one is by being good, the other is by being bad.

This workshop explores the dilemma between attachment and authenticity faced by all people, but faced in a particularly brutal fashion by the abused child. Sometimes the child takes on the strategy of preserving attachment at the expense of authenticity (and reality) and sometimes the child decides to preserve authenticity (and reality) by repressing and distorting the need for attachment. Sometimes the child splits and finds a way to carry out both strategies.

This workshop dignifies and honours both strategies, looking at the strength and wisdom of both, while also facing the damage, risk, and loss that each strategy carries with it. Drawing on trauma research and the archetypal wisdom of the tarot, this workshop offers us a way to honour the good sister and the bad sister in us all, and to take back their energy from the abusive logics that distorted them.
