In this post I am going to cover the checklist / criteria for what makes a good person for your healing trauma journey, as we know the immense benefits of having someone you can open up to about this stuff, this will be really helpful to you, hope you enjoy.
The checklist:
- They are non judgemental, this is a big one, the last thing you want when you open up about your trauma is someone judging you and for example finding it weird / vibe killing when you bring up something deep like trauma, you want someone non judgemental.
- You can trust them, trust is everything here, when you are going to be opening up deeply about your past trauma’s there has got to be trust.
- They understand trauma, to be honest this is more of a bonus but a great one at that, the best case scenario is that they understand trauma, but I will say as long as your partner has got the 2 points above it should be good.
- They are smart, again more of a kind of non necessary one but a very nice bonus, of your partner is smart, then they will know the solutions / advice for you to deal with this trauma.
- They are kind / heartfelt, these are the best people for opening up about stuff like trauma, you want this person to be warm, present and heartfelt, this is very important.
As always hope this was valuable and best of luck on your healing journey, also for me personally I have a good online friend whom is my “partner,” for my healing journey.
