This is an incredibly powerful perspective on healing and self-liberation. Living within a trauma triangle keeps us cycling through roles that may feel familiar yet ultimately disempowering.

Recognizing that we don’t need closure from others to move forward is a transformative insight. It's about reclaiming our own power and choosing to heal for ourselves. Thank you, Mark.

Mark, it's so great to find you here on Substack. I used to follow you on IG and then deleted IG, so I haven't seen your writing in a while. Once again, you're saying what needs to be said. Thank you for sharing your voice and opening our minds. Bless you!

Great post Mark. I love reading your posts and I have learnt so much through your words of wisdom. Love your work. Thank you so much for giving me a lot of courage and strength to deal with a lot of stuck people around me and I seem to get involved with them and their forever painful stories.... I'm a compassionate person, but I don't want to be a people pleaser. I value my time and I don't want to waste it to the wrong people anymore.

A beautiful moment to get to -- where your compassion ceases to be self-abandonment. :)

Love your work Mark and I have listened to your podcast for the last few years. I wholeheartedly agree and made the same realisation a while ago that my ‘story’ was a victim based one. Once we step out of that thinking and start defining ourselves differently we become more empowered. A lot of what I created was coming from that wounded lens. Now I aim to create from a place of contribution to the best of my ability. It’s a different energy to come from. We all of us have to take responsibility for ourselves ✨
