“broken people” don’t just suddenly #stop tearing at their scabs, don’t just will themselves into a state of mental #health
sad people don’t just turn on a happy face, with a crank or a crayon, and suddenly feel happy . . . it is more complicated than this
unhappy people tend to seek reasons to remain unhappy because, perhaps, they fear a greater despair if they “take a chance” . . . too often we create “a safety zone” of sadness . . . I can live with this, can I live with something greater ?? . . . this is how it works
this is why telling people to “get over it” can never do anything other
than make them feel #less_willing to move forward
it doesn’t help and it doesn’t work and in our #profession recognizing this is the most critical piece of information confronting us
