In All The Wrong Places

Episode 11 - Looking for Safety in Being Vulnerable


Listen Later

The Oxford Dictionary defines vulnerability "as the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally." Essentially saying vulnerable people are easy to attack. Vulnerable people are weak. But I disagree with this and have so many thoughts how how opening up and being vulnerable can change your suffering for a more peaceful & beautiful life. I think a lot of us think that being vulnerable will give us the safety we are looking for, when in fact looking for safety in the act of being vulnerable is the wrong place - because for me being vulnerable means shedding your skin a little, open up your wounds to allow in healing in ways you never could have experienced being shielded. Vulnerability is putting aside your fears and insecurities and stepping into the firing ring to expose the truth of your pain and suffering. There is no safety after vulnerability, you are already safe and therefore vulnerability can happen. I hope you enjoy this weeks episode and cannot wait to hear what you think!
