She went no contact with her mother for years.

Now, after reaching back out, her mother doesn't want to talk to her, which brings up an interesting conversation surrounding therapy and no contact culture that's happening right now.

So let's talk about it.

Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe.

Now, I came across an interesting TikTok of a woman talking about going no contact with her mother, then reaching back out years later, only to be shot down by her mother because of this whole no contact thing.

And I'm thinking of recent history with no contact culture.

It's been something that it feels like is exponentially on the rise right now, especially amongst young people where they're deciding to go no contact with

family members, peers, friends.

And this can be for a multitude of reasons, maybe a traumatic history or past, some recent events that went sour with family members or friends, political takes.

And it's interesting to have this story take place and to see what could be the natural progression of no contact culture, where when you inevitably try to reach back out to your mother, she doesn't want to talk to you anymore.

So let's hear the story.

Okay, let's pause just right out of the gate here where she frames this as wanting to build a bridge.

When I think about no contact culture, oftentimes, and I want to exclude

super traumatic actions that one has committed against another that leads to no contact.

If somebody is truly harming you deeply mentally or harming you deeply physically, God forbid, that is a bridge that probably needs to be burned.

And I wonder if that's the case in most of these instances.

Oftentimes,

when i'm hearing about people who go no contact from family members friends significant others even we're hearing stories that don't seem to justify a no contact rule being set in place and often these people are influenced by others on the internet by their personal friend group or chosen family which is a term we will get into and therapy plays a huge role in i think no contact culture

Now, she frames this as reaching out to her mother, trying to build a bridge again.

You burnt down the bridge.
