The World Walks With You Into Therapy: Social Justice, Somatics, and Healing

Contributing Author: H. Ameeta Singh, LMFT

I was honored to contribute to a collection of writings by therapists exploring the intersections of social justice, healing, and somatics. My piece reflects on the profound experience of ten years spent facilitating a weekly group on trauma and healing with men from the San Quentin community—an undertaking rooted in resilience, connection, and the transformative power of collective care.

Through this work, I explore how trauma, accountability, embodiment, and relational presence unfold within a collective container, and how healing is shaped not only by individual histories, but by social context, power, and belonging. This contribution reflects my ongoing commitment to somatic psychotherapy that honors both personal and collective healing.

About the Book

The World Walks With You Into Therapy is a timely and compelling collection that brings together diverse therapeutic voices examining how social justice, intergenerational trauma, and collective histories live in the body—and how somatic psychotherapy can serve as a bridge between individual healing and broader social transformation.

The book invites clinicians, students, and readers alike to reconsider therapy not as an isolated, inward process, but as one deeply shaped by culture, community, and the world we live in.

Praise for the Book

“It has often been observed that individualism—separation from each other and from the environment—is a core feature of western civilization. We learn we should blame ourselves for our problems and try harder/work harder. Most forms of therapy fail to address how intergenerational trauma, social injustice, and inequalities live in our bodies and minds.

This book, a diverse collection of therapeutic voices, offers insight and practical approaches to understanding our interconnectedness and to orienting ourselves to our bodies and our personal and collective histories in order to heal and reconnect. I think you will benefit from the antidote to individualism this book provides on your journey to wholeness.”
