Our desire to be seen and heard – to be witnessed – is a fundamental human desire. We all want to know we matter.

This episode explores the experience of being witnessed by others, why it’s important, and how we can heal by witnessing ourselves.

It’s an act that creates the prospect of being seen and witnessed below the surface at the level of who we really are.
