Today’s episode is about how important it is to be seen. But we also then have to talk about how willing you are to get vulnerable enough to really be deeply seen and witnessed. It’s not as easy in practice as it sounds on paper, but it’s necessary for our health and well-being. But as much as we want to be seen, as much as we want deep presence and connection, and want to be witnessed, there is also often a part of us that also wants to hide. We don’t want the attention, we want to check out. We don’t want to be seen because it exposes us and the vulnerability of being seen and having deep connection is often overwhelming, scary, and even repulsive, especially if we’ve been hurt. I talk about the dance between the two and why it's important to lean into being seen.
