Reattaching Liberties
Dr. Sue Johnson,
developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy,
rooted in an Attachment Theory
that organic creatures live healthier
more robust
compassionate
and prosperous lives
when their original womb relationship
and earliest parent/child interdependence
is more warmly attached
and less coldly detached,
and certainly not absent,
stolen for social protection disservices,
lost,
threatened,
and/or strategically bombed,
abused,
and then chronic Industrious Revolution neglected.
This Emotionally Focused Therapy
is also RightBrain emotionally intelligent Attachment motivated
counter-cultural to LeftBrain dominant patriarchal,
and too liberally bureaucratic,
power and money-hoarding,
history.
Where LeftBrain Yang
applauds heroic autonomous
strong and silent safe messiahs,
and/or aggressive and loud Terrorists,
Narcissists,
and infamously Victorious Colonizers;
RightBrain Yin
flows out Her polyphonic non-verbal calming webs
of healthy domestic-internal nutrition,
cooperative
nurturing
integral
synergetic mutual emotional intelligence, co-passioning
ego-inside and eco-outside therapies.
Such interdependent therapeutic environments,
climates, if you prefer,
are also invited by Permaculture Design
as contrasted with patriarchal AgriBusiness,
factoring,
fracking,
fragmenting,
fissioning,
fracturing degenerative monocultural strategies
which historically appear as if aggressive and violent colonizing threat
is only worth mentioning
if we identify with the HumusTribe
or disposable tree commodities
or most any resident of an undisturbed sweetgrass meadow
Under a sunny June blue sky
with billowing white cumulus pillows
floating great benign ships, unStated
gracefully presenting a fragrant breeze,
flowing with an invisible
yet enlivening
downstream destination,
promising to return again
one perfect every day.
Or, should I say,
Former resident
of now paved and exhausted meadows?
ReAttachment Therapies,
rooted in original parent/child healthy interdependent experience,
are also found between resilient adult couples
and calm, slow-grown eco-village communities
and good polycultural faith communities
like organic extended family farms,
left-brain egalitarian Universalists
also right-brain interdependent Unitarians,
and Quaker Meetings for Win/Win consensus-building,
and in Zen Buddhist orgies of silent sensual-sensory stillness,
and Taoist ecopolitical Tipping Pointers
toward more Yintegrity
for less Yangominous narcissistic mendacity,
as if mountains were even secularly possible
without sacred valleys,
More liberal left love
for less stingy "I got my personal fundamentalist religious rights" anger
and fear of multicultural spiritually co-attaching values
and hate for elitist theoretically privileged powers
[either/or unbalancing disambiguous
both/and balancing ambiguity]
through bad-humored
punishing patriarchal god-icons
[and good-humored
healing matriarchal goddess-incarnations],
Bear economies
leaving us lazy squirrels
and too lame
and slow
and tame Turtle Islanders behind
to smell more than our fair share
of Loser toxic exhaust
where once blossomed meadowed flowers.
ReAttachmentTherapy
is sometimes called Restorative Justice
instead of Retributive Patriarchal Punishment,
Cooperative Win/Win Game role playing
instead of Capitalism's Win/Lose racist colonizing work,
Communion
instead of invasive LeftBrain dominant sexist fragmentation.
ReAttachment Therapy
is sometimes called active love, polypathic
instead of absence of requited, co-redemptive compassion,
polyphonic
well-sung,
yang/yin yinyang redancing Now with Here
through past and future meadows
faithed and hoped
as co-passionate love.
