She Speaks with Shara - Episode #15 - Are You Uncomfortable or Unsafe

Shara Season 1 Episode 15

The last decade has shown a drastic increase in mental health advocacy, acceptance of therapy and an online culture supporting healing and addressing trauma in all its forms. These are all excellent things and society is better for it. 

But what if a small side effect of this is a growing mindset that anything unsavory that comes your way is unsafe? What if we are not actually at times building resiliency as a byproduct from the things that have shaped our lives, but using the new buzzwords of healing culture as a crutch and it is keeping us stuck?

This is an important discussion to have, about what the real difference is between something that feels uncomfortable to us and things that are genuinely unsafe. If we don't lean into the uncomfortable to help build a stronger version of ourselves, then we risk feeling unsafe from things that are inherently just simply unpleasant to the current version of us.
