I’ve been thinking about this lately. In my 20s I could pivot and adapt quicker because of time and my perception of it. Now I do it in stages. The destination for rehabilitation is not a destination for me. It’s lifestyle like exercising. It’s a practice and it’s cannot happen when someone is being managed thru it instead of witnessed inside it. The obsession of management wants the finished product you know? It really screams to arrived corrected, cleaned up and fucking resolved. Sorry for the language. The witness sits with you while you’re still standing inside.
Our humanity doesn’t need to be directed towards growth and let me know if you agree. Something I’m thinking about also. I believe it needs space to move through it honestly.
The moment and this is repetitive experience speaking the moment we start managing each other’s process we interrupt the organic thing we are trying to support.
You made me think deeper about this. Something I need to chew on thank you.
I like to think of growth as change. Your points about witness and management makes me think about your point on ubuntu and interconnectedness. I think the beauty of being organic is that our interconnectedness added complexity and something unexpected and something we couldn't do on our own.
These thoughts spin in my head because I have lived on both sides of the wound.
I have been hurt by people who could not take accountability, and I have been the person who caused pain and had to face that truth about myself. In this process I think to myself I have enough self awareness.
When I finally got out of the emotion and looked deeper, I realized that interconnectedness is not just the beautiful part. It is also what makes us responsible for each other in ways we cannot escape.
Thank you for writing this. I have a lot of thoughts about expectations around having everything polished, working in silos to perfect things before sharing, and why our interconnectedness among multiple touchpoints is so important--to actually witness our interior complexity and how things change.
Brings up questions about what does rehabilitation, growth look like, and how can our humanity be supported instead of managed.
