Empathy and Healing

6/28/2017

Empathy and compassion for people's suffering is key to helping them survive and heal. 
✨✨✨ 
I'm particularly committed to easing the suffering of people with chronic pain , mental health issues and Huntington Disease. These are things I know well . There is no amount of study that can help someone truly understand the pain people go through. True empathy and understanding comes only from lived experience. 
✨✨✨ 
I'm not apart of the "positive thinking " and "everything happens for a reason" divine intervention camp of people , especially in my industry who use fluffy quotes to mask human suffering . 
Furthermore I think that it is irresponsible to preach such things to people who have had severe traumas , chronic illnesses, physical , sexual and emotional abuses, have watched family members die horribly of a brain disorder and live in fear for themselves. 
✨✨✨ 
Instead , offer them tools and practical approaches to living better. Give them resources to help them regulate their nervous systems , focus their minds , regulate emotions and build stronger and healthier bodies to carry them through whatever comers there way in life. That's powerful. I have committed myself to the community to do just that... 
✨✨✨
My approach to life , this is the hand you were dealt for better or worse. You can choose to be a victim of circumstances or choose to live the best you can despite it. 
Stay strong ❤️
