Can Someone Heal in a Toxic Environment?
Mar 28, 2022
Trauma Healing is a Lifestyle.
We can think about this topic imagining a fish living in a toxic fishbowl.
Let's say the fish wants to make change in their life and decides to do some therapy.
For 1 hour a week the fish leaves its bowl and sees a therapist and it feels great.
Even though there are uncomfortable things to work through, it feels great to be in a place of non-judgement and someone who really 'gets' them.
During the session emotions have been purged and they feel 'lighter'.
Problem is, as soon as they jump back into their bowl the toxicity of the water starts to seep into them again.
It doesn't take long before they're messaging their Therapist saying:
"I need another session!!"
If our environment isn't set up for our healing & success then it makes things very difficult.
We tend to see it lead to session dependance and frustration.
That's not to say everything needs to be changed all at once.
As long as someone is moving in the direction of improving their environment.
When we see trauma healing as a lifestyle we can get "our ducks in a row" so to speak.
We can set up our lives to be conducive to our growth.
It's not that one therapy session, that one psychedelic experience, that one retreat......it's a lifestyle one is committed to.
