Hey UN•THERAPIST,
We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…
📌 When you say you accept someone, does that include the backlash that might come with their past?
It’s easy to embrace growth in private. It’s different when that past goes public, and people start whispering and forming unwanted opinions.
What do you do when your reputation gets tested? OR What do you do when standing 10 toes down for your person starts to devalue everything you've worked for?
If someone decides to share their testimony with the world, does your acceptance include the scrutiny?
📌 The judgment?
📌 The friendships that may shift?
And if someone chooses to step away because of your history, do you blame them? OR Do you recognize that consequences sometimes spill beyond one set of shoulders?
Now let’s pivot.
📌 When did the standard stop being the standard?
There was a time when monogamy was assumed. Now you’ll see debates in comment sections saying the issue isn’t that "he had other women"… it’s that "he didn’t give her the option to choose."
📌 So what’s the standard now?
📌 Monogamy?
📌 Polygamy?
📌 Or just the conversation before the decision?
Has the line moved from “this is unacceptable” to “just tell me first?"
Are standards evolving… or are people bending them?
Are we redefining commitment, or just renegotiating comfort?
Because at some point, we have to ask: Are the standards changing us or are we changing the standards?
Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE accepting someone’s past versus accepting its consequences, shifting relationship standards, loyalty under pressure, and whether today’s “communication” has replaced yesterday’s non-negotiables.
