Commiserating, relating to and validating one another’s experiences and its collective aftermath, and naturally or purposefully problem-solving is what we do in supportive groups online & in-person all the time, with one overlapping the other serving dual purposes at times. Healing and recovering is a solution, and we are each in varying states of that, with our sharing an integral contributing factor.
Sometimes it may feel no solutions are forthcoming when we do share our experiences and pain, but just the act of doing that is a solution. There’ve been times when we’ve felt so frustrated that there wasn’t more to do toward ensuring a more comprehensive solution, and that’s what’s led us to write blogs, record videos, start support groups, publish books, and produce programs on the topic. It is all problem-solving, and there’s more to do that each of us so inclined can participate in doing or initiate ourselves.
There is a movement taking place right here & now to raise awareness, and we seeking support are part of why. Whether or not any individual involved has specifically done anything to educate the public, it has been our gathering and sharing that has sparked it.
