Example Sentences
- "The community tends to be wary of people who cite an interest in psychology as motivation for connecting with us, but I think the fact that you've helped to establish healthy multiplicity as a recognised phenomenon will offset that wariness a lot. You might experience pushback, however, from communities who believe that systemhood can only happen as a result of trauma (this belief is called sysmedicalism)."
