Therapist Challenges 'First Time Living' Excuse for Causing Pain: 'You Deserve More Than Just Survival'

A holistic therapist, Brooke, known as 'Brooke - Holistic Therapist ✨' on social media, recently shared a video addressing the common defense of hurtful behavior: 'It's their first time living too.' In her message, Brooke emphasizes that while this may be true for the perpetrator, it is equally true for the person experiencing the pain. She asserts that individuals should not be burdened with healing from the unresolved issues of others. Brooke stated, "You shouldn't have to spend your life healing from the things that they have refused to deal with." She further validated the emotions of those affected, noting, "It is okay to be angry about it, it's okay to be sad about it." The therapist concluded by reassuring viewers that they are not alone in their experiences and that it was never their responsibility to bear such burdens. Brooke offers one-on-one sessions for those seeking support in their healing journey.
