We continue to treat this as if it were an individual problem, as if there’s something wrong with the children and adults who harm themselves, or who are anxious or depressed.
When will we wake up from our illusion of separation, and acknowledge that this is our problem as a society and indeed as a human race?
When will we start taking responsibility and asking ourselves, not what is wrong with these children, but what is wrong with society?
What are we doing, as a society, as a human race, to create these problems?
When will we wake up from our illusion of separation, and recognise that we are all intimately connected?
When will we ever learn?

Donald Marmara created Core Development , a learning process which acknowledges the unity and inter-relationships of mind, body, emotions and spirit.
It draws on the principles and understanding of somatic psychotherapy, structural dynamics, and Donald’s own personal therapy, professional training and life experience.
Core development adopts a flexible approach, recognising that what works for one person may not work for another.
Donald currently resides and practices in Sydney, and is available for individual sessions, couples sessions, counselling teenagers and parents, and facilitating training programs and workshops. He is also available for Zoom and phone sessions worldwide.
