In this conversation, Talia Bombola and Adam Luke discuss the importance of taking action in conjunction with awareness, especially in the context of mental health and family dynamics during the holiday season. They explore how awareness alone is insufficient if it does not lead to meaningful change and the potential pitfalls of using past traumas as excuses for current behaviors. The discussion emphasizes personal responsibility, the need for effective communication, and the complexities of navigating relationships, particularly in the aftermath of trauma. Talia and Adam's major talking points are: being aware of something doesn't mean you can use it as an excuse to behave or not take action on something; sometimes therapy can overemphasize emotion and coddle without encouraging or pushing client to make changes & also some clients resist action; and sometimes people use a diagnosis as an excuse or label to avoid their own role in something.
