There is power in pain and the potential to reach a much deeper understanding of how people interact with the world. There are times when the power gained through having gone through painful experiences can go undervalued and unnoticed.
People who have lived ordinary and well-adjusted lives may never completely understand how real, raw, and excruciating certain experiences were for some people.We can sympathise with one another, which is a commendable skill to have when connecting with people.
However, this does not create an understanding of how it felt and what they had to do to survive their pain. There is no understanding of how the power of survival is not always a pleasant sight.
This is because pain can change how people function on a psychological level. It does influence our perspectives, the way they interact, and how we handle situations faced. But this can be positive.
The positive is that those who have suffered generational and intergenerational trauma have a deep insight, knowledge, and understanding that can only be earned through having experienced trauma. These experiences create first-hand knowledge that can be applied in a range of environments.
The understanding gained strengthens the partnerships we form with others and creates a much deeper connection with people. This is because they are not only heard and valued but also seen and recognised as survivors. There is something special about survivors recognising one another. You see a piece of yourself in someone else. Which is a very personal and important factor in the bond.
Survivors of intergenerational trauma know each other through the pain they have mutually healed from and could still be going through. This creates a sense of inherent kinship and connection that is derived from shared experience. The pain you both feel is separate, but the experience is shared. You both know what each other has lived through and, therefore, there is respect that bonds you both. You're not trauma dumping. You do not share to dwell and bond as victims. YOU BOND AS SURVIVORS.
It's a special privilege to not only sympathise with someone else's pain but also to understand it. Which is a powerful experience. Every person we meet will not share this special understanding of each others healing journey.
Trust and know wholeheartedly that this is a superpower that not many people have. They may believe that they do, but it shows in the deep connections they have with those who have suffered, healed, and could be suffering now. If you can reach someones heart and soul and really see and communicate with them, then its demonstrated. It's the real deal.
