@therealniccoy: Dialectical thinking is learning to hold two truths at once. Someone can hurt me and I can recognize their humanity. I can love someone and know they aren’t healthy for me. I can forgive someone and still have boundaries. But let me be VERY clear: “Someone hurt me” does not mean “I should tolerate abuse.” Abuse, coercion, manipulation, and repeated violations of boundaries require safety and discernment, not endless nuance. Dialectical thinking isn’t making excuses for harmful behavior. It’s learning to see reality clearly enough that one truth doesn’t erase another. 🖤 #dialecticalbehavioraltherapy #HealingJourney #complexity #traumahealing #mindset
