Thank you Jonathan, I'm starting to think you know me personally 😂, seriously though, so relatable and well written, it helps to know I'm not the only one 🙏

Thank you, Jonathan. You have articulated beautiful what has been on my heart and haven’t had the words for.

It’s the Abandonment piece, that self-reinforcing loop that one can get into that needs to be attended to, because it starts with self-abandonment of our vulnerability through the need to control and be right, or “safe” but then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Thank you for your beingness and sharing with us.

No doubt, Sheena, that "self-reinforcing loop" can take us into the weeds. It's up to us to shine the light and find a path.

I feel like so many of us have been pondering similar questions, always nicer to do it in community, than alone.
