People Understandably Cope In Different Ways – That Doesn’t Mean They Always Give Good Advice ~ Lilly Hope Lucario

May 28, 2017 by Healing From Complex Trauma & PTSD/CPTSD

People cope with trauma, abuse and child abuse – in many different ways.

~ Some drink and use alcohol to self medicate.

~ Some isolate themselves completely, to avoid any more harm.

~ Some work too hard, to keep their minds busy and off the trauma.

~ Some get really angry and stay angry.

~ Some blame themselves for the abuse.

~ Some suppress all the trauma and think they are strong warrior survivors.

~ Some think forgiveness is the ‘be all and end all’ to healing.

And there are many others too.

I totally understand and have compassion for anyone using these ways to cope.

I understand people are doing the best they can at this time.

But, where I have issues – is when people using these ways of coping – then tell everyone else they should be doing the same. When that is very unhealthy advice.

I see this occurring a lot.

The ways people cope, are very understandable – but often not healthy, or promoting healing.

There is a lot of bad advice out there, about what is required for healing.

And I see this all the time. Which saddens me, because people are believing it.

And there is a lot of shaming goes on too.

That’s not what I want for anyone.

In challenging the unhealthy advice given – I am showing compassion – because my motivation for doing all I do – is for people to heal and move towards better lives.
