#saying good vibes and girl boss isn’t gonna make your trauma go away you’re just supressing your emotional needs

Nobody talks about the traumatized to obsession with recovery to toxic wellness to conspiracy theorist pipeline

It’s the wellness and spirituality to conspiracy theorist pipeline but expanded

Let me explain: you are traumatized. Obviously you do not want to remain traumatized. You want to heal, but you can’t heal faster than you can heal. It’s frustrating. You become preoccupied with the idea of healing. You then discover a whole community of people like you, spreading the good word of wellness culture who promises they can fix you. They don’t actually, but they make you feel good about yourself because you’re bypassing the emotionally turbulent aspects of recovery so you keep doing it. This culminates in a “well I turned out fine” “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” “stay positive” “good vibes” mindset. You have now landed yourself in the more commonly observed spirituality and wellness culture to right wing conspiracy theorist pipeline

It’s really upsetting because they’re preying on people who want to heal from trauma
