Perspective is everything

The Depth You Don’t See: 🌊

One bright morning, a group of animals gathered beside a shining lake.

Two tall giraffes stepped in first.
The water barely touched their knees.
Their long necks rose high above the surface, steady and unshaken.

“Come in, friends!” they called.
“It’s not deep at all!”

The bears shifted uncertainly.
The rabbits stepped back.
And at the very edge stood a tiny mouse... frozen — staring at ripples that felt like crashing waves.

To the giraffes, the lake was nothing.
Clear. Light. Safe.

But to the mouse, it was everything.
Endless. Cold. Devouring.

The lake had one depth.
But it held different fears.

The giraffes weren’t cruel.
They weren’t laughing.
They simply spoke from where they stood.

And that is how judgment is born — not from hate, but from height.

We do it every day.

“It’s not that serious.”
“Why can’t you handle it?”
“I went through worse.”

But strength is relative.
Capacity is personal.
And pain is invisible.

What feels like ankle-deep water to you
might be rising over someone else’s head.

Not because they are weak.
But because their story is heavier than their body.
Because their past adds weight to every wave.
Because you cannot see the stones tied to their heart.

Empathy is not shouting from the water,
“It’s safe!”

Empathy is stepping out… walking to the shore… and seeing the lake from their height.

🌿 Before you minimize someone’s struggle, lower your perspective.

Because sometimes the deepest wounds
are carried by the smallest frames.

✨ Takeaway:

True empathy begins where judgment dies.
We never see the full depth of another’s pain — only the surface they struggle to keep calm.

So guard your words.
Act with kindness.
Because the storm you call shallow
might be the one someone is fighting to survive in silence.

I can’t believe how much time has passed since I posted this.. I bet he would look at how treatment is done today and be blown away.. Both by really great strides and the not so great ones. We were story tellers. I got that from him. We used to write back and forth for years and tell stories. People loved him. He changed a lot of lives. With Carol Sullivan

A Story Worth Sharing:
This is Paul Sullivan. Although you may not know the name, you may have been impacted by his influences. This man has been an inspiration to me for most of my life! I remember one day while I was a teenager, a boy that everyone else deemed "ju**ie" "trouble" or "trash" in my neighborhood approached me. He said, "Hey man, I know your grandfather. He is a good man, because he listens. He really listens! You can tell he cares." We shared a love of people. In his work, he guided & supported the rebuilding of lives from the destruction of addiction. A silent force & part of how I got to where I am...What we shared was our love for story telling, because he too was a story teller by nature.. a skill I believe is essential for all good therapist.. It reminds me that most people simply want to tell their stories. And WILL when given the right audience. My goal is to honor him with his message and the foundation he laid for the work to come..
