“True trauma healing entails addressing and dismantling the systems that perpetuate it”
Uhh, I don’t think I can manage global socioeconomic rifts, and I’d wager that the people who can do so would largely be disinterested in doing so
Yeah, I'll just end depression real quick.
As a treat
You're thinking on a global scale where the therapist is likely talking about the small systems of people immediately surrounding an individual
I will dismantle the petrol-car-alcohol-war systems that made a friend die of a car crash
Well not with that attitude
You don't have to think on a global scale to have meaningful impact on your immediate environment. Whether that be the friends that you keep, separation from a relationship or family, holding an abuser accountable, starting a labor movement at your job, moving out of a toxic community, working to fix a toxic environment, etc. All of society is a series of systems at every level.
