Vulnerability – The First Step of Forgiveness
from Dynamic Healing with David Hanscom MD and Les Aria PhD Hosted by Mind Body Spirit.fm
There are few rewards in nature for being vulnerable. You won’t survive. Humans also possess this basic instinct, but we also have language and consciousness that allows the possibility of deep relationships. It is a terrible paradox, in that being vulnerable is at the core of enjoyable and functional human relationships. Anger is an intense reaction that covers up feelings of vulnerability. Yet you must connect with your vulnerability before can begin to forgive and thrive. Dr. Fred Luskin is a Stanford psychologist who has committed his career to learning and teaching about forgiveness. He is the author of Forgive for Good. He is our guest on our show and shares his insights on the need to be vulnerable and also some ways to acquire this skill.
