3/3 "When the past deals with you, it will do so on terms of its own choosing. Those terms will be, almost always, worse than you seeking to engage with the past." Paul van Zyl #CollectiveTraumaSummitt #traumainformedKE

2/3 "There are always ways of thinking about the injustices of the past. I'm very firmly of the view that if you don't engage the past, and you don't seek to embark proactively on the process of healing, the past will deal with you." Paul van Zyl #CollectiveTraumaSummitt

1/3 "Like dealing with gross violations of human rights, you either deal with the past or the past deals with you. It's pretty clear that doing nothing is never an option, that people always look back. There's always a memory. Paul van Zyl #CollectiveTraumaSummitt #traumainformed
