"A Place Where I Rest"

In October, women from one of Samegrelo municipalities visited our rehabilitation center.

They worked with a psychologist, a lawyer, and a social worker. The psychologist met them frequently and held sessions, so she can tell us more:

"Through daily communication, their inner personality gradually opened up. They said they had never spoken out loud about the problems they had carried within for years. One of them had been conditioned to obey since childhood, and now, as an adult, she clearly understands the harm this unspoken obedience has caused, but she can't change anything..."

I listened to her story, and she felt relieved. She didn't want the conversation to end because she was listened."

The women left notes. Fragments from their letters:

"The place where I rest is a spiritual paradise"...

"I think how wonderful life would be if I lived differently"...

"This is a place where I could think about a happy future and, I think, I will definitely free myself from the memories of the past. I love you"...

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
