The holistic approach of community-based social healing is aimed
at creating and sensitive living of human connectedness — the surplus of interpersonal interaction, a way of supportive coexistence. Community, as the basis of this approach, should be understood as the "point of intersection" (or rather "center of gravity") of two intentions, the separation of which is conditional: to
heal the community and to create a healing community. Highlighting the first emphasizes the direction to a special collective relationship. The name “community’ can be given to any group of individuals who are united by a certain characteristic - place of residence or work, preferences, common traumas, etc. However,
such a group often does not have inner connectedness even in normal conditions. More crucial is that in protracted traumatic conditions connectedness tends to get lost; it intensifies the traumatic experience even more and needs healing — connecting ex nihilo. The "provoked" by supporting practices surplus of connectedness is a source of healing as a collective unity regardless of, or
contrary to, the objective order of existence. Highlighting the second intention (to create a healing community) emphasizes the need for community for individual healing.
