Dear 

After years of working with trauma in both children and adults, it is curious to me to hear parents say that their children are fine with wearing a mask to school. The word  fine is typically the adult- self's way to justify something that doesn't feel right, but has to be done. 

When an adult or a child says something is "fine", there is almost always another energy or emotion that is going unexpressed.

My grandson, at least for now, is in the LAUSD and we have had several conversations about masks. When asked, his very first thought was that masks were not good because he could not see his friends smiles. He then told me that it was hard to breathe and that his teachers spent more time asking him to pull up the mask than they did asking him other things. Most recently he said that in his school that they were "taking things to the next level" with the masks. When questioned he said that during weekly testing of his classmates that the adults doing the testing were in full hospital gear with two masks. (Welcome to CA public education) I asked him how he felt about that. His response (even though he was not the one being tested) was that his friends were sad. When asked why, he said it was because the hospital gear and double masks make them think that there is something wrong with them. It makes them think that they are sick, when they are not. 

As you can tell, this topic has very personal ramifications and thus I'll dedicate this session to a very wise grandson and all the other children who are anything but "fine" wearing something on their faces all day, but may say they are.

Regardless of your beliefs about the need or lack of need for masks, this session addresses the energetics of what the children take in and hide in the subconscious so they can appear "fine".

Hope to see you there!

Love,

Suzy
