I would like to share with you a client’s story:
She was in the shop with two kids. Middle of shopping the kids started throwing a tantrum. A lady next to her started to talk aggressively with the mum; “shame on you, call you mum “? “You don’t know how to discipline your children “and extra. Mum had to leave the shop and decided to do shopping locally where people know them.
That is heart breaking story, is not it? But it is not all the story. The mum were not their real mum. She looks after two foster children. Children who took away from their own parents by police for safety of children. You can imagine how much these two children has been suffering. In Fact they were not naughty , they suffer from trauma.
How much you know people’s stories? n most cases even people who live with each other, know a little bit about each other.
During therapy whether they are couples or members of a family , they get quit surprised when they share their stories , the stories that they never heard from each other, their point of views, their perspectives. So imagine how much we know about strangers? In no circumstance you deserve to be treated badly.
Ask yourself, How your action affects on others? Do they feel ok to ask for help from you? Ask yourself if you are struggling, do you prefer to isolate yourself from others or you feel ok to share your concerns with other? Yes or no? and why ? If you are ok please share your answer as every one has different experiences and point of views which help us to under stand each others.
