Gagan Ek Dhoka Hai
Today I have the rare pleasure of welcoming a friend, a colleague, and a possible doppelganger of mine, if I could have a Yoda modelled with my bone structure. Gagan Ahluwalia (Writer, Psychotherapist, currently flirting with Hegel) has singlehandedly added incalculable value to my training as a therapist in all the space we have shared as students, and so today as she begins to explore questions of rage experienced by the other-ed feminine, I am so grateful to invite her to share her processes, out loud, with Inchoasis. She has promised me a series, so this may just be an hour-long teaser of all that’s yet to come. Begin now we must… In this episode we scratch the surface of a question that Gagan arrived at for her thesis, but there's a history of fascination and awareness there- a quest to give language to transgenerational trauma, a language that is as much feminist, psychoanalytic, existential and metaphysical as it is constantly a subject to much examination itself. Perhaps at the end of all such quests, we walk away with a pair of glasses, one full of meaning and the other marking its absence.
