Every time another headline breaks about abuse, corruption, or institutional failure, society seems to follow the same script: outrage, endless debate... then collective amnesia.But our nervous systems don't operate on the news cycle.In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt explore why trauma isn't something people simply "get over," and why accountability is far more than a legal or moral issue, it's a biological one.We discuss:• Why unacknowledged harm keeps the nervous system in survival mode• How cultures normalize unhealthy behavior by what they tolerate• Why declining trust is becoming a public health crisis• The neuroscience behind acknowledgment, repair, and psychological safety• Practical ways each of us can model accountability in everyday lifeIf you've ever wondered why some stories refuse to fade or why "moving on" sometimes feels impossible? This episode offers a different perspective rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and human connection.Because accountability is not optional. It's an integral part of creating safety in our nervous system and overall well-being.https://www.bloomingminds.orghttps://www.instagram.com/imanlkhan/https://www.facebook.com/bloomingminds.org"Rebranding Mental Health: A Movement, Not a Label."
