Scenario

When couples have different approaches to reclaiming Indigenous healing traditions

My partner and I are both trying to reconnect with our respective tribal healing traditions after years of disconnection, but we're approaching it so differently — they want to dive deep immediately while I need to go slow because of family trauma around forced assimilation, and we're not finding ways to support each other's journeys.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are navigating the tender work of cultural reclamation at different paces, creating distance when they most need connection.
