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.
