Traumatic experiences teach us how to be vulnerable and rely on others. For many of us this is not an easy lesson. Why did we let ourselves lose touch with the very real need to lean on another? Why did we believe we had to do it all alone? This is no longer true and our adult self can make choices to protect and re-parent the child. Relying on others teaches us that we are part of a larger community and world, and that sharing our truth is radically healing. It is how we learn we are safe and that others will not abandon us. Rather, they will appreciate the opportunity to share their heart in service.
