Trauma Magic by Clementine Morrigan

Essential food for a radical queer praxis. Trauma (which is the lasting effects of violence on the mind and body) is a teacher that attends to history, individual human healing, and moving into right relationship. How do we as communities “decide to stay with trauma” rather than pathologize and psychologize it away, listen to it as a resistance to violence rather than coerce people into enduring violence in silence?

Most interesting is the idea of trauma “queering time” and turning time into something “non-linear” something I experienced for years without a language or framework to understand it beyond “dissociation” or “executive dysfunction,” when it can also be understood as a beautiful gift, a magical power, in the midst of suffering.
