Nancy Perlson, LCSW, RYT: Healing in the Liminal Spaces
“Healing exists in the liminal spaces between then and now and what’s to come.”
Chapter Summary:
In Healing in the Liminal Spaces, therapist Nancy Perlson, L.C.S.W., R.Y.T., challenges the idea of healing as a fixed destination. Drawing from years of clinical work, she describes healing as a collection of quiet, often unnoticed moments: saying yes or no, deleting a message, watching a sunset. These moments, though small, carry meaning—if we pause to witness them. With gentle wisdom, Nancy invites us to see healing not as resolution, but as emergence: something that unfolds slowly, in the space between pain and possibility. The work is not to chase healing—but to stay present long enough to recognize it.
