This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Dr. Rina Lazar, a clinical psychologist practicing in Tel Aviv who brings an anti-war perspective to current events from within Israel. Lazar explores the origins of the Israeli state, its contemporary actions, and what it means to be a part of something while opposing it. Struggling to be heard, Lazar juggles history with violence and belonging. Living in a country only a few years older than herself, Lazar's reflections show a complex perspective on propaganda, selfhood, nationhood, and how the war lives in the therapy office.Read Rina's work in ROOM:"As we find ourselves negotiating the need to belong with the need to detach, the therapeutic space can serve as a zone for intersubjective encounter between people who, in varying degrees, experience barriers between themselves and others, and within themselves."— Lazar, "Solitude, Resignation, and Hope" ROOM 2.25
