From Taiwan ⊹ Aunt ⊹ Sister ⊹ Educator ⊹ Therapist

Hi there,

This is Carol (they/them), thank you for taking some time to consider working together.

Therapy is a co-created space that serves to rehabilitate our relationships to ourselves and to the people in our lives. From this foundation, I often accompany people through survivorship of domestic, sexual, labor, and political violence.

I understand trauma to be a process of transformation that ripples throughout our hearts, bodies, communities, and Lands. Bodies have a living memory–meaning that our inner world is not concerned with chronology, so it follows that human beings do not shed the mechanisms that we adopt from painful experiences through the passage of time alone. Our nervous system cares for us this way, at once prone to leading us away from danger, and infinitely capable of adaptation.

In therapy, we can deeply experience our inner story, external influences, and the heritage of our instincts. As we grow in self understanding, we can become aware of the habits or internal responses that have longed to rest, releasing the functions that have become exasperating. In that release, we can return our inner world to a form that is more liberated and true.

You know your life best, and I learn from you on how best to integrate my skills for your needs. My care practice is anchored in somatic theory, collective liberation movements, and Internal Family Systems-informed parts work. Please see Areas of Focus to get to know more about my practice.

With care,
Carol Lin
