Thank you for sharing, Michelle.

Will, thank you for courageously sharing your comments with me. Learning how to trust, as a trauma survivor is not an easy task. The challenge is our “all or nothing” thinking. We have to learn how to modulate that, so we can allow people to “earn” our trust. Brene Brown uses an analogy of a marble jar, where people earn the right to hear your story. Our desperation for connection/relationship can cause us to override the warning signals in our system that tell us it’s not safe yet. Hang in there…go slow…allow people to earn the right to hear your story.
