"If I had refrained from sharing the most difficult aspects of my process, I would never have received the wisdom and support that I needed to get me through. I have witnessed many people who have been shaken to the core and catapulted out of their comfort zone by an inner force that has left them disoriented and wondering what happened to them. When I share my experiences with them, they are relieved and reassured to know that they are not alone, and that someone else has undergone the same ordeal. This is why I believe it is so important for us to be transparent with each other. We undermine our own healing when we hide our vulnerability from others with the fear that it might reveal shortcomings and weaknesses. Through strength and courage are important qualities, it is often our fragility that enables us to truly connect with and receive from others; especially when we need it most. To know that someone else, once in the throes of despair, has overcome the same obstacle that we face, can provide a glimmer of hope in our darkest moments."
