🧩 Service-Resistant by Design🧩
🔍 Summary:
They built the maze. Then blamed you for getting lost. She didn’t resist services—she resisted being retraumatized by them.
đź“‚ Entry Content:
“They said I refused help. I said I refused harm. They said I was resistant. I said I was exhausted.”
Her intake required retelling her trauma. Her follow-up required a working phone. Her housing referral expired while she waited for a callback. When she missed the third appointment, they closed her file.
The system called her unreachable. She was, in fact, standing outside the office again. She wasn’t resisting services. She was resisting the cycle of false promises and repeated harm.
