Connection: The key to being vulnerable

My personal view is that the willingness to be vulnerable is essential to facilitating growth in therapy. With my clients, I seek to create connection and safety from a place of trust, and then we can move forward to process complicated feelings. How we do that is through a willingness to be vulnerable. In doing so, we learn to sit with discomfort, which serves to slowly purge unresolved emotions, reducing their intensity and freeing you to no longer be burdened with an invisible backpack that weighs you down. Listen again to the now seminal TED talk from the renowned Brene Brown on the power of vulnerability.
