I currently send an e-mail every 1-2 months. It includes a combination of news, bite-sized reflections, & updates about the new books I’m currently writing.

It can tell us what inner work we now need to do.

If we turn towards our wounds & shame, & do this inner work, then problematic sensitivity transforms into the sensitivity which is a precious gift.

This sensitivity has things to teach us.
▪
It can direct us towards our wounds & our shame.

When we carry unaddressed toxic shame, we are overly-sensitive to situations that might expose our perceived shame.
▪
In both cases we react in ways which hurt ourselves & other people.

🌱
We respond not to what is happening—but to what our nervous system fears might be happening.
🌱
Misunderstandings pile up. Inside us. Between us.
