Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human. No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulnerable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it. This is what will allow his healing to begin

We can measure how brave you are by how vulnerable you’re willing to be. vulnerability is the “birthplace” of things like love and joy.

What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart
