We see the pain caused by the misuse of power, so we numb our pain and lose track of our own power.

We become terrified of feeling pain, so we engage in behaviors that become a magnet for more pain.

When we stop numbing and start feeling and learning again, we have to reevaluate everything, especially how to choose loving ourselves over making other people comfortable. It was the hardest work I’ve ever done and continue to do.
