WTCI’s mission is to deepen and amplify an intersectional feminist voice within the evolving dialogue of contemporary relational theory. Central to this endeavor is our understanding that the vicissitudes of early life, socioeconomic position, racial construct, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disabi...

I love my mother but...
Who else is loved so deeply and, conversely, blamed so intensely as one’s mother? The mother stories we carry can empower or derail us. Many of us struggle with limiting cultural myths about motherhood and old stories about our mothers that cover hidden longings. Using guided imagery, meditation, journal writing and group processing we will explore our stories and expand your life.

We at WTCI are enraged at the real possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. As history has proven, there is no banning of abortions, only banning of safe abortions. As mental health clinicians, we have witnessed the devastating effect on mental health when the right to healthcare is dismantled and the essential right to self and body determination are once again robbed. Abortion is a human right. WTCI continues to stand strongly against banning the constitutional right to abortion and steadfastly for the right to body empowerment and autonomy for all.

As many of you know I am working recently on my new project R**e-history of shame. Please follow my FB page and support my work. Beginning of this story is my Grandma past, she was a Holocaust survivor, N***s camp survivor and r**e survivor.She used to say to me- Wiolunia you have to understand...so that's my job for the living try to understand others and try makes sense for the usually horrific experiences especially for the war, r**e survivors.I decide to do this project in Rwanda and about Rwandas women, but the topic is unfortunately universal for the all women all over the world.This summer I am going to Rwanda meet genocide and r**e survivors, I will talk with them,I will lead ther**eutic group, provide a lecture for the survivors and second generations of genocide survivors. R**e and the consequences of this experiences changing forever women's life. We cannot remove the past but we can still love our life...I will try do my best for all of us
