Trauma can cause individuals to act defensively, leading to harmful behaviors. While compassion for those affected by trauma is essential, accountability must also be enforced to prevent cycles of abuse. Support for individuals who react out of fear should be balanced with recognizing the need for clear boundaries. Healing involves understanding past experiences while also accepting responsibility for present actions, as neglecting this may perpetuate harm and prevent genuine recovery.
Trauma can explain behavior, but it does not excuse harm or remove the need for accountability. Healing requires both empathy for the past and responsibility for present actions.
Compassion without boundaries can enable cycles of abuse rather than break them. At what point must individuals be held accountable for their actions?
