“Wow. Just wow. Every Connection Gem you send out is insightful, helpful, succinct, and practical. I have saved every one and value them all.
It often feels as if you are looking in my relationship window and putting words and support under my struggles. But this one is so powerful, so incisive, that it brought up a lot of tears and hope. Shame has driven my partner to the extent that he does not advocate for himself and lives with deep pain and defendedness, and I have recently realized an area of shame for me that had remained hidden for many years. In both our cases, shame has successfully blocked areas of agency.
Thank you profoundly for your work, and the clear light you shine on our universal struggle to relate with kindness, compassion, and personal efficacy. I am truly and humbly grateful.
