The Space Between

journeys through the process of hope & healing

Healing

"I respectfully acknowledge that the land on which I work, and gather is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg and Attawandaron (Neutral) Peoples. They have maintained a longstanding sacred relationship with the land and water in southwestern Ontario since time immemorial. I honour the resilience, wisdom, and ongoing contributions of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples across Canada. The impacts of colonization led to displacement of the Indigenous Peoples, loss of life, soul wounds, and intergenerational trauma which continue to be felt today. Systemic injustices and discrimination persist, and it is our collective responsibility to acknowledge them and no longer ignore it! We must find a way to end these atrocities so that we all may find a way to begin to repair and heal what has been done. Healing cannot begin without truth, and reconciliation requires action. I recognize that my land acknowledgement does not change the past, nor can it undo the long-standing harm that has been caused. However, as a Registered Psychotherapist, I am committed to listening, learning, and integrating culturally responsive and trauma-informed approaches into my practice. I strive to create a safe space that respects Indigenous knowledge, promotes healing, and supports reconciliation in meaningful ways." - Christy Burgess
