It makes no sense to speak of healing people if we are not willing to address what is making them sick and ultimately killing them. I tell my students all the time that my prescription for everyone who walks into our clinic is the complete transformation of this society, and that anything else we do is harm reduction – necessary and often life saving but not curative. And while I don’t have a roadmap to guide that transformation, I can tell you one thing – the first step is refusing to accept the cruelty and suffering around us as normal. Because the trouble with normal is that it always gets worse.
