Importance of a healing community
Trauma can be incredibly difficult to overcome on your own. Healing in isolation is a struggle and why we recommend leaning on your community.
There are many things that can be said about community, and the role it plays in people’s lives. Some may view community as a support system, others as a network of individuals that come together to form a social structure. Whichever perspective one takes, it is undeniable that community plays a critical role in human existence. For some, community provides the support they need to heal from past traumas.
Community provides individuals with a sense of belonging, which is essential for our well-being. Members of community offer support and encouragement to one another, which can be crucial for overcoming difficult times. Community can also provide individuals with a sense of purpose, which can be beneficial for those who are struggling.
Support groups - A special kind of community
When it comes to healing, sometimes it can be helpful to have some company. This is where support groups come in. They provide a space for people to share their experiences and connect with others who are going through something similar. This can be incredibly healing, as it allows people to feel seen and understood. It can also be a great resource for finding information and support.
Trauma recovery support groups can be found in person or online. They are meant to serve as a compliment to therapy. A quality support group will provide you time and space to express yourself. Many people find it helpful to express their feelings about their trauma through writing, art, or other creative outlets. The more types of interventions the better as what may work for one person, may not work for you. Healing takes patience. It may take time to fully recover from trauma, but with patience and support, you can do it.
