Tonight in class we explored relational ethics, also known as caring ethics. I’m skipping over the lesson itself to focus on what came up for me.

There is an assumption in relational ethics that every one has access to multiple caring relationships beyond therapy. Therapy offers connection, others in a person's life are expected to provide emotional nourishment as well. Some people arrive without any safe relationships. Many carry histories of trauma, neglect, or isolation. In those situations, therapy becomes the one space offering presence and care. Rules and boundaries shape the work, the relationship often holds the entire emotional weight.

Helping others often gets presented as a response to loneliness. Service becomes a substitute for connection. Provide care, contribute meaningfully, fill time with acts of support. None of this addresses the core need. Loneliness demands recognition, conection and shared experience. External acts do not replace mutual relationships.

Another question arose around empathy. We were asked to think about when we first showed empathy. My answer surprised me. Therapy offered the first safe space where empathy emerged. Childhood lacked attunement, emotional safety, or reflective experience. In that environment, empathy could grow. Survival required internal distance.

During trauma work, a therapeutic relationship provided attuned presence. Over time, emotional empathy stirred. Later experience gave it permission to form and take root.

Some conversations treat empathy as universal or innate. This creates pressure, erasing different pathways toward growth. People raised without emotional safety often build these capacities during adulthood.

I'm still awake & making more tea. Working on finishing my conflict resolution therapy homework. I also spent 3 hours working on tackling my trauma triggers homework. That was pretty heavy yet quite worthwhile to revisit. Sometimes we have to revisit some past growth lessons when our PTSD/CPTSD sets us back, unexpectedly. I just see that as another opportunity to grow & evolve myself even more, in my lifelong journey to heal, turn pain into power & become the best version of me, possible, in this one guaranteed lifetime.

I will be sleeping in tomorrow morning.

Except unfortunately, *I* did know.

As a child I tried so hard not to believe it. How could those who “love” you, treat one that way?

So I took all that blame and turned it towards myself.

Hence, why many of those who taught me that lesson, still walk the earth today.

A digitally created scene featuring a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere that depicts a misty forest at twilight, framed by the silhouettes of two large, gnarled trees arching in from the left and right. In the background, a giant full moon glows softly through a turquoise-green haze, casting an ethereal light over the landscape. A single bird is silhouetted in flight near the moon, adding a sense of quiet solitude. At the center of the image, bold white text reads, “As a child, I never imagined that all of the real monsters in the world would be humans.” This image evokes a sense of childhood wonder evolved into adult reflection, contrasting the innocence of youthful imagination with the complexities and disappointments of real life. Although no artist or author is credited for the image, similar sentiments have been expressed by Cat Winters in her work “In the Shadow of Blackbirds.”

leftist spaces need to have a serious reckoning with their ableism—especially toward cluster b disorders.
it’s not just individual ignorance. it’s a pattern.

you say you're trauma-informed, but pathologize anyone with intense emotions or attachment wounds. you say “abolish the carceral state,” but you socially exile people with bpd or npd like it's justice. you preach “community care,” but treat certain neurodivergent people as disposable.

this isn’t healing. it’s scapegoating.
and it mirrors the same systems we claim to fight.

if you're serious about solidarity, you need to unlearn the reflex to demonize people just because their symptoms look messy, threatening, or unfamiliar. start interrogating where your language comes from—why does “narcissist” live in your insult toolkit? why is “toxic” your go-to label when someone is dysregulated or in pain?

stop centering comfort over care. real community means making space for people who challenge your assumptions—not just the ones who fit neatly into your idea of “safe.”

cluster b folks aren’t the enemy. we are already in your spaces. we’ve just learned to mask, hide, shrink. because we know what happens if we don’t.

you want to build something liberatory? include us.
because if your vision for justice doesn't include cluster b folks, it’s just another hierarchy dressed in radical clothes. - Anarchist Jew (on Facebook)

Has anyone done a trauma narrative? What did you think about it? Did you feel like it helped you in any way?

My therapist who specializes in trauma and who I've been with for years suggested I think about it. I'm just not sure how I'd do it.

I don't feel like I'm no longer traumatized, you know? I am being traumatized daily by [don't want to talk about personal life] so how would I even address that?

So in broad terms I'm asking how it went, I guess. Did you like it?
