As therapists, the shootings that have been going on in our culture for the last 20+ years are quite overwhelming! There is a responsibility we have as therapists to be the front lines for mental health. We want to have a psychological pulse on the culture, not only to understand what is happening but to get more clarity on how we might be able to prevent these things from continuing to happen.
The shooting this week in Nashville is another devastating blow. It is a symptom of the heartsickness of our culture. Even our responses can be seen as a sign of our sickness. We go into enemy mode with eachother about the causes.
