THIS IS Our STORY OF CHANGE

"Let.Go" Mural by Rose Jaffe, 2017

I believe that the truth heals.

I know that you can get free of the oppressive stories in your head.

AND that telling -- and changing! -- your story can change everything.

For you, and for all of us.

 

Hi. I’m Leah Harris.  I’m a writer & founder of The Story of Change.

I work in support of trauma transformation, healing, and collective liberation.

And truth. And story. And change.

Personal, and political.

I work 1:1 with you as a storytelling mentor and transformation coach...

And I partner with organizations and communities to facilitate Rewriting Trauma trainings.

As a young person, I was hospitalized several times following suicide attempts. In every instance, I left the psych ward in the same or worse shape than when I entered. And my experiences are far from unique. Want to share your experience with psychiatric hospitalization following a suicide attempt? Please take some time to fill out this survey if you can and share it far and wide. It's SO vital for us to be asking the questions we want answered and to use that knowledge & power to help change up the status quo. Thank you in advance for lending your voice to the cause. . . . #suicide #suicideprevention #suicideattemptsurvivor #suicideattempt #hospitalization #mentalhealth #trauma #institutionaltrauma #humanrights #disabilityrights

This morning I woke up with that familiar mixture of grief and joy, remembering it is my precious Mama’s birthday. Gail Harris has been off-planet for 23 years now. For too long, I have focused too narrowly on the fact of her tragic death at 46, but now I choose to celebrate the utter badass she was. Gail ran away from home at 18 to join the hippie movement in California, and was obsessed with freedom. She taught me to fly my freak flag high, and to be very particular about what beat I danced to. She was a free lover, a free thinker, a fierce fighter, and gave zero fucks about what anyone thought of her. She loved to gather people into her home and nurture them. She loved to cook for people and force them to eat. She was a science fiction and fantasy nerd, the Star Wars films being her favorite, with 2001: A Space Odyssey not far behind. She wrote poetry in longhand for her entire life on yellowing steno pads. I am grateful to have many of her poems still. Happy birthday to the one who birthed me and who cheers me on daily from The Other Side. I love you.

Just printed out the entire manuscript of THE STORY OF CHANGE. Some writers do this thing all by themselves, but I don’t ever dare to write alone. Mad gratitude to @arielfionagore and students for reading chunks of the previous draft, @kelly.diels for being a magnificent coach and thought partner, and to @cjclammer, writer, editor, and human extraordinaire. Now to get down and dirty with these pages for what I hope is *close* to the final round of major edits.
