Jenny McCann @jennyeye.bsky.social · 16/03/2025I think it will take a very long time for society as a whole to talk it about it. We seem to be at the classic trauma response stage of just pretending it never really happened . Despite the last effects being all around us 010

Jenny McCann @jennyeye.bsky.social · 14/03/2025It’s a classic trauma response- to avoid the issue. As a nation we collectively experienced this trauma.
