Is it just me? 🤔 A serious question.
I was talking to a friend of mine, a woman of color, who is setting up a consultancy to help trauma survivors. I commented that what hurts one, hurts all, whether in our community, our country or our world. This seems self evident and obvious to me, but she mentioned that it is a foreign concept to many. So I thought i'd ask the CoSo community, is it just me who believes this or do others view it the same way?
@killingfloorman People who think their trauma responses mean they are strong, but in a normal situation they just look like a massive jerk, they hurt many. Those whose trauma response is to pacify, they promote acceptance of bad behavior, causing harm. What hurts me the most is knowing all the pain out there, and feeling helpless about it. I have to shut part of myself off to cope with it, so yes it's a truth, and no, there will always be some who can't accept truth so not always self evident.
