Is it Possible to Love Without Harm?
Does it hurt to feel judged by the people close to us? Yes. Does it have to harm us?
No. Not always.
If there was one question I think people who’ve been through trauma are desperate to answer, it’s this one:
“How do I connect with people without harming myself?”
And that question is valid. And I have a few things for you to consider.
Hurt and Harm Aren’t the Same Thing (And Understanding This REALLY Matters).
Hurt is a growing pain. Harm is a shrinking pain.
