We are social living beings, not reptiles. We depend on one another for all of our necessities. We have our whole life to eventually figure out how to have our needs met. As we heal, the world around us is also healed.
We will always need healing as trauma can occur daily. How we respond to the continual traumas of the day is how we will heal. Almost any breakdown can be traumatic. Responding to those breakdowns mindfully will be the healing necessary to mitigate the devastation.
Sometimes we cannot stop a traumatic event from happening to us. We have varied responses to such traumatic events. Coming back to life will take a support network. The support network must be inclusive. Exclusion will diminish our ability to connect to the living beings around us who need us and we them.
How we need one another and how we participate in the reciprocal exchange of attention will also vary. Each individual has varying needs depending on their physical, emotional make-up.
