We often carry these weights without knowing where they came from, and your breakdown of childhood trauma versus adult behavior is incredibly clarifying. A must-read for anyone trying to find their voice again.

Thank you, Haseeb. Took me a long time of self-reflection to finally be able to share this story. Hoping it helps others see themselves and realize they can be fixed.

John, this is so beautiful. What a reflection! There is major personal freedom that comes from this awareness. If you haven't explored the Enneagram, I would encourage you to do so.

Thank you, Julie. I have explored it. Here is an interview I did with an Enneagram expert, Deborah Egerton (Dr. E) - https://passionstruck.com/deborah-egerton-how-to-read-your-enneagram-chart/

I will definitely listen to this. Thank you. In my mind, there is always much to learn about how to shed ego. I appreciate your work.
