This is awesome.

My therapist said something to me once that was like:

> If it's fearless, it's probably not vulnerable.

I was like... damn.

Solid advice. Thanks for the kind words Justin.

This is such a powerful message - I especially got the bit about the ‘urgh’ reaction 😂 so familiar. Kudos to your therapist for using such a visual system too - it really makes a big difference to how I understand and remember things. Hoping you continue to have those insights and lightbulbs going forward!

I’ve struggled with the opposite: how to become quieter. My reaction to bullying and my childhood has been to cause quite a stir which comes easily to me. But staying quiet, listening, digesting the lessons. That’s my real work and ho boy does it pay off.

I LOVE that whiteboard approach to therapy, it reminds me of the design process, but instead you are designing your best life. Way to go.

Makes sense. We all react in different ways. Thanks for sharing that.
