People will do almost anything to not feel pain, including causing pain and abusing power; Very few people can handle being held accountable without rationalizing, blaming, or shutting down; and Without understanding how our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors work together, its almost impossible to find our way back to ourselves and each other. When we dont understand how our emotions shape our thoughts and decisions, we become disembodied from our own experiences and disconnected from each other.
