i’ve started playing around with using “unlearning” basically anywhere i used to use “healing” (thinking of trauma as rigidly learned patterns / viewpoints, rather than as vaguer “damage”). feels like a more accurate description. thoughts?https://twitter.com/_jordan_bates/status/1150606833427603457 …

I like it for specific instances of uprooted assumptions. There are times when healing feels like dropping my guard when the danger has passed -- not sure if I'd call this unlearning exactly. It feels more like accepting the safe new environment.
yeah, there is a different thing of like, feeling open enough to take in how safe you are, and also a thing of like, finding new particularly safe environments (therapy, authentic relating, cuddle piles, etc)... i think it's worth having different names for these things!

Oh yes, I'm absolutely pro precision! Def agree that on the whole 'healing' tends to be pretty vague.
