have to do a brain dump for my own sanity lol. i work in research which often requires literature reviews. my team is currently conducting a lit review on "healing-centered engagement" which is somewhat synonymous with "trauma-informed care" depending on the setting.
healing-centered focuses more on the fact that healing from trauma is a political process. it was a term coined by a professor named shawn ginwright. he believed that we should switch to healing-centered engagement rather than trauma-informed care. he believes that trauma informed, focuses too much on trauma and doesn't necessarily allow a person to heal.
the topic is very interesting and definitely has made me think a lot about the way we approach trauma and how we can heal from it. i figured i'd share this topic in case there's anyone that likes topics like this! (I have been working on this review for like 2 months therefore I needed to just dump this somewhere lol)

βof course we don't want to pathologize ourselves, but this has been one of the keys to unlocking and letting go of my patterns and learning where I can improve/what my triggers are. highly highly recommend

πΏi like to ponder in the shower just like everyone else. tonight's shower ponder had to do with the fact that i'm in the job search process right now and it is so disheartening to have to tailor my resume to every post and just basically do the most for every single job post just to most likely receive a rejection within a few days of applying.
i started thinking about the fact that when people accomplish something difficult in life such as finding a job, owning a house, or finishing education there tends to be 2 types of thinking that come out on the other side. the 1st way of thinking is the "well i did it alone and although it was difficult, i was able to do it alone so i think everyone else should be able to do it alone if they try hard enough" the 2nd way is "i did it alone and it was hard and i recognize that there is a need for support here therefore, i would like to change the system so that other people do not have to go thru the same hardship in the same way i did." not saying that everyone thinks like this, but i feel like these are the 2 common ways of thinking that i've heard.
& basically that was ponder as i sat there waiting to wash out my leave in conditioner.

πabout two weeks ago, i deleted all social media from my phone. tiktok, instagram & facebook. i truly think this was one of the best decisions i made. i find myself living my days a little less stressed and i find myself engaging in the world more.
my biggest fear before deleting the apps was that i would be completely out of touch with the world. i did feel like that for the first week, but after the 'detox' i felt better. i still stay in touch with news, i use Reuters and NPR to stay up to date as they are pretty unbiased compared to other news outlets. often i go to a site called allsides where i can see how the news is being reported across the spectrum.
every so often, i'll open instagram on my browser for a little bit and can really only stay on there for like 5 minutes. i no longer see the appeal and quite frankly it stresses me out to be on there. i am not ignorant to the things going on in the world, i have just found joy in finding out about things in a different way. i have linked the allsides website to this post, i think it's worth looking at because it is really interesting to see how different outlets report things.
