Nothing traumatizes the human spirit more than the imposition of an absolute upon it. This is because an emperor takes form that directly informs. Tragically, "communication" is neither imagined nor whispered.

Who We Are

aboutus

Welcome. I am Sunni - a trauma counselor and educator - and I am Brian - a communicator and organizer. We are committed to offering rights-based services that promote resilient, sustainable communities in a world that demands our response.

Our primary goal is to offer "frameworks for understanding" our environment, that move beyond the taken-for-granted assumptions of what has been psychologized, what has been institutionalized, and those who have been granted a harmful amount of discretion in It.

What sets us apart is our ongoing commitment to respond to both "trauma" and "systemic oppression." This is why, we believe, "communication" is so important.

Thank you for taking the time to access our work, our ongoing debates, and what we are doing to change our world.

Frameworks for Understanding

What We Offer

We offer a wide range of services across the contexts of embodied trauma patterns; narrative-based support; personality patterns; communication ethics literacy; interpersonal, relational, family, intercultural, and organizational communication perspectives; and communication for social change.

Our intention is to, as much as possible, move toward expanding our experiences of identities, relationships, and cultures.
