Wow, where to start? I suffered greatly from anxiety and depression, and it was really hard to get out of the house, just to do the things that you need to do but the [Anitarika] method provided for me with methods of self-care, starting from self-knowledge. So it was literally an anchor, I should say a life preserver. It grounded me but it also gave me something tangible that allowed me to save myself.

I’m an incest survivor and through [the Anitafrika Method], I have gotten tools to be able to negotiate triggers that come up in my life and it’s been incredibly powerful. And it puts all the pieces together without pathologizing me or shaming me or calling me bad. It creates space for me to grow and of any health intervention that I’ve had I felt the most held, the most supported and the most resonance because other survivors are here.

[The Anitafrika Method] has been a method to allow myself to look inwards. And that has given me the time to look at my different bodies. I’ve allowed myself to be okay with periods of depressions and be okay with stress and different things that happen in my life.

The [Anitafrika] Method has been a tool that I have been able to use to go through each principle and look at my own health and look at my own life and look at the ways I hurt myself or the ways that I don’t understand myself and don’t forgive myself and don’t exercise compassion with myself and change that.

Whether I’m creating art or whether I’m existing and going through this life as a human being I can look at all of those principles and all the questions that they ask, because each principle is surrounded by questions that I can go back to try and renegotiate a balance in my life.
