@loriwheeler: Having trauma doesn’t automatically make you self-aware. It can explain your behavior… but it doesn’t excuse how you treat people. Healing requires responsibility. Not just understanding why you do something— but choosing to do something different. Your past matters. But it’s not a free pass. #manipulation #victimmentality #boundaries #guilttrip
I always excuse the behavior of others because "they've been through a lot" or "we don't know what they're going through." But at the same time, I've been through a lot of trauma too and I've still shown up with kindness. I really need to hold people accountable more often.
