Have you ever thought about adult privilege as a concept?

And how “adultism” can be abusive.

As an adult, you can wake up and have a bad day - but a kid with the same mood has an attitude and needs disciplined. @JoeBrummer

When we are able to recognize our own journey through the River of Cruelty - where we have been treated cruelly & how we have treated others cruelly. We become more comfortable & capable of sitting with our own junk - with our own #mad, #sad & #afraid.

But once we are past needing them for #survival they are HARD to let go…

Getting out of the River of Cruelty takes #intention & #time.

The weak just want to be #strong and the fearful want to be #safe.

CT - that becomes the work of trauma-informed systems - we are able to look at the river, step out of it & help pull others out into safety - we are releasing that #hope into the world and everything begins to #heal.

Our adverse feelings must be #protect"/hashtag/protected" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#protected at all costs.

Our defense mechanisms were valuable in keeping us safe. They helped us #protect ourselves - they were not & are not our weaknesses. They do not make us BAD. But they almost always come at a #cost.

1/ #disruptersunite with @ESSDACK learning about the River of Cruelty on my drive home today.

“No matter how amazing your childhood was, no one gets out of childhood for free.”

Eventually, we give away our #adverse emotions - transfer them to others.

When kids are in a toxic stress space - they are predominately in their brain system looking for ways to go to the limbic system to connect to their relationship brain - they are looking for YOU to help them co-regulate.

Our brain continues to grow and change as we grow & it can and does heal!!

The brain is plastic & can heal at any time in life.

It heals emotionally through safe, stable relationships.
