Supportiveness Quotes

“Don't give up when dark times come. The more storms you face in life, the stronger you'll be. Hold on. Your greater is coming.”

“While in principle groups for survivors are a good idea, in practice it soon becomes apparent that to organize a successful group is no simple matter. Groups that start out with hope and promise can dissolve acrimoniously, causing pain and disappointment to all involved. The destructive potential of groups is equal to their therapeutic promise. The role of the group leader carries with it a risk of the irresponsible exercise of authority. Conflicts that erupt among group members can all too easily re-create the dynamics of the traumatic event, with group members assuming the roles of perpetrator, accomplice, bystander, victim, and rescuer. Such conflicts can be hurtful to individual participants and can lead to the group’s demise. In order to be successful, a group must have a clear and focused understanding of its therapeutic task and a structure that protects all participants adequately against the dangers of traumatic reenactment. Though groups may vary widely in composition and structure, these basic conditions must be fulfilled without exception. Commonality with other people carries with it all the meanings of the word common. It means belonging to a society, having a public role, being part of that which is universal. It means having a feeling of familiarity, of being known, of communion. It means taking part in the customary, the commonplace, the ordinary, and the everyday. It also carries with it a feeling of smallness, or insignificance, a sense that one’s own troubles are ‘as a drop of rain in the sea.’ The survivor who has achieved commonality with others can rest from her labors. Her recovery is accomplished; all that remains before her is her life.”

“There is no greater power and support you can give someone than to look them in the eye, and with sincerity/conviction say, 'I believe in you.”

“Amazing! All of the ingredients, prepared just how I want them... "Is this rough mix good enough?" "Yeah!" ... are showing up at my fingertips exactly where I need them. I only have one person helping me... ... but... ... it feels like I'm working three or four times faster than when I'm cooking alone! "What on earth is that?" "Let's see... Soma Yukihira. My! He transferred in as a freshman? How unusual." "He's anticipating her every move... melding her work with his support into one cohesive whole." "He does nothing unnecessary... constantly keeping one eye on Megumi Tadokoro, so he never impedes her work.”
