People need people 🌍❤️
Something I wrote for my community that I hope feels helpful here too ❤️
People healing from trauma need other people.
Not as a bonus — as a necessity.
Trauma often teaches us to carry things alone.
To minimise. To adapt. To survive quietly.
We hold experiences that were overwhelming, confusing, or unsafe — often without witnesses who truly understood.
Over time, that isolation takes a toll.
Being in community matters because:
• we need spaces where we don’t have to explain or justify our pain
• we need to be seen by people who get it, without fixing or judging
• we need gentleness and honesty, not pressure to “heal faster”
• we need places where we can say “this is hard” and still belong
Support, peer connection, learning about our nervous systems, and sharing at our own pace aren’t signs of weakness — they’re signs of courage and self-respect.
Healing was never meant to happen in isolation.
It happens in safety, in relationship, and in choice.
With love,
Chris ❤️
