Just because they survive doesn't mean they're resilient in the sense that they won't have trauma.

The tools to survive are different than those to thrive
Kids ARE very resilient. That's the problem. Therapists know this despite the joke.
As a kid you're so resilient you'll accept anything as "that's the way it is" and so a child will shape their themselves around that world view. Then they grow up with a twisted view of how things are and it requires therapy to unlearn that.
It's like scar tissue on a wound. You healed but you're not quite the same. That wound is now less sensitive to feeling in it's environment and can even be more susceptible to further wounding.
There's more shit that fucked with my head since I became an adult than ever did while I was a kid, and I had plenty of shit fuck with my head as a kid.
I'm resilient as hell, but only because I promised my wife I wouldn't arrange an early exit. As much as I regret making that promise, I'm stuck. Gotta just wait for natural causes to kick in.
You better or I'll make some promises to your wife. /jk
Honestly tho please keep that promise.
I hope you keep that promise for the rest of your life.
Not all adults need therapy
Ehhhhhhhhhh…….
I feel like if there was a way to set it up everyone could at the very least use a yearly mental checkup with no strings attached. No one will know and you can be completely honest about any thoughts that you have had in the past year with no fears of being hospitalized.
with no fears of being hospitalized
that'd be nice. currently in the process of playing the "be honest but not too honest" game
Juat cos you havent finished growing up yet!
(Possibly my most childish comment - in proud of the irony)
Im turning 35 this year, the height of puberty no doubt
Touché
Enjoy your 14th consecutive 21st party, i guess?
I'm not sure where I'm going with this any more (et alone how it started!)
