Fair Weather Friends and Trauma Fetishisers
Relationships are hard. We are all human and have complex thoughts and feelings. We all have our own subjective lived experiences and making connections with others isn’t something that happens automatically. It is something we learn to do from an early age, and this development can be impacted by intergenerational patterns and sometimes trauma that teaches us unhealthy relationship habits.
The more we know about ourselves, and the people we are in relationship with, the more we hold space for each other’s authenticity, the more we encourage accountability and grace, the stronger boundaries we have and the more we are willing to change, the better our relationships will be.
Grief and Bereavement
“We live in a world that does not value life. On the whole we are surrounded by or are witness to atrocity and carnage that should be the exception not the rule. This is not the cruelty and inevitability of our nature, or is it? Are we no better than the ferocity of the natural world? The opposite certainly exists too. Our capacity to love, create, grow, build and nurture. Where is the balance? Can’t we have the latter without the former? Isn’t the inevitability of death and destruction by natural causes enough to compel us not to create it through deliberate destruction? Isn’t the beauty enough to strive for or is that what we fight for when it is threatened?”
Reciprocal Relationships
We all want equity and balance in relationships. That is how we thrive, how we develop our connections and grow into authentic and content human beings, working together to have a quality of life. It is how we heal intergenerational injustices and how we leave a healthy legacy behind for future generations. Negotiating relationships individually and collectively is the crux of the human experience.
