Sometimes it’s hard to accept people’s kindness because usually they want something in return.. Recently that hasn’t been the case and I’m scared because I don’t really want to experience it again.. can accepting kindness slowly heal this trauma?

Accepting kindness with an open heart can indeed be a powerful step toward healing from past traumas. When genuine kindness is extended without expectations, it can help rebuild trust and remind us of the inherent goodness in people, fostering emotional growth and resilience. As you open up to such experiences, you’re nurturing a path to healing and rediscovering connections based on trust and care.
