what does a person who is healing from trauma do when they're accused of [x, y or z]? how is a person healing from trauma supposed to handle accusations from supposed places of safety?
what happens when the doctor's office isn't safe? what about when the therapist's office no longer exists? what about when the friends who were supportive disappear? what then when a person healing from trauma is all alone and reaches out in desperation only to be given a smack on the wrist and stern words??? safety? hah! such a subjective thing and certainly not something that exists only because someone "says" it does.
what then?
our response? letters, anger and outright indignation. when mental health isn't healing but harming we sit up and take notice....we take notes.......we report what we see to those who might listen and to those who couldn't care less.......but we report away as we're tired of not being heard when we say someone is hurting and needs help not to hear the party line repeated over and over again........parroting an answer isn't the same as honestly believing what one says is not only possible but probable.
how 'bout you?
