“What allows us to interact and be authentically close to others is the fact of being well within our own borders – family-related, sexual, religious, cultural, geographic, racial, etc. The more anchored and solid these internal barriers are, the less humanity needs to build external borders.”
Psychotherapist, Nino Rizzo, shares his perspective on a process that is often absent in discussions about peace: the development of internal borders. Nino explains that developing clear and solid internal borders prevents us from creating and constructing external – and often violent – borders.
