The book is a comprehensive exploration of Ziji's life, art, and psychological journey, intertwined with poetry and reflections on trauma, relationships, and healing.

  • Author's Background: Ziji, a writer, visual artist, and former clinical psychologist.
  • Artistic and Therapeutic Practice: His art and poetry practice, initially unintended as therapeutic, helps unearth body memories and generational trauma.
  • Life Drawing Sessions: Life drawing sessions with Saskia involve a deep, non-verbal connection, focusing on authenticity and mutual energy exchange.
  • Exploring Relationships: Ziji and Saskia's relationship is built on mutual understanding, complexity, and a shared commitment to truth and creativity.
  • Personal History and Trauma: Ziji shares his traumatic family history, including his mother's death during his birth and his father's war-induced psychological struggles.
  • Healing: He recounts his experiences of abuse at a boarding school and the long journey towards acknowledgment and healing.
  • Therapy: He discusses his use of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMD*R) and other bodywork techniques to address trauma.
  • Art as Therapy: Ziji views his art practice as a way to process trauma, allowing unconscious material to surface and be expressed creatively.
  • Couple Therapy Insights: He integrates his art practice into couple therapy sessions, using it to foster deep emotional and spiritual connections.
  • Philosophical Reflections: Ziji reflects on the interconnectedness of life, the impact of intergenerational trauma, and the importance of conscious living.
