The Power of Vulnerability
It's wise to be vulnerable, to reach out for help, to acknowledge that you don't know what to do. By being vulnerable you find your answers, your healing, and your success.

Most of us have either been taught to be guarded, put on a different face or hat depending on the setting, never reveal your weaknesses. Women in particular have been taught and admonished if they aren't nice, sweet, agreeable. If we weren't taught this, we learned it through being cheated or feeling taken advantage of by tricky people. Perhaps we've realized that this life isn't the dream we may have grown up envisioning. This was the case with me.
I grew up in a small surfing capital. My parents were very controlling and strict. Even though they were at war and my home was a scary and threatening place, I was not exposed to other parts of life. I had no idea about common sense, not taught practical skills like budgeting money or how to get a job, or buy a car. I was overly trusting, very naive, and had a very popular look by the time I reached UCLA. I was exploring that big city with great curiosity and bravery, but I had no knowledge of how to keep myself safe. It was a setup for trouble, and I found it but not as much as others did.
When I consider all the many ways in which I placed myself in danger in my life being spontaneous, eager to experience new people and places, not having priorities or any idea of my inherent purpose, I wonder why more trouble didn't come my why. My feeling is that in part, it's because being as vulnerable as I was also allowed people to experience my Heart and this brought out the good in them. Not everyone showed me their goodness. Some definitely had other intentions that were self-serving and even dangerous. However many recognized what they termed my "idealistic" perspective on life.
Finding myself in many predicaments that i had no idea how to resolve caused me to ask a lot of questions and while this may have revealed a vulnerability, it offered me the knowledge that I needed. I learned a lot throughout my life because I wasn't afraid to acknowledge that I didn't know. It was okay for me to admit that I was unsure of what to do, how to handle something, and to research and ask as many questions as I needed to learn.
When an individual is challenged and doesn't know what to do, sometimes she/he just fakes it. Sometimes the individual keeps doing the same things hoping for a change. Other times she/he becomes depressed, frustrated, angry, lonely, and hopeless, and all those emotions can be the message- the motivation to reach out and obtain qualified, experienced assistance by a professional who can help. This is why I'm here.
I've helped clients with all aspects of their life for over forty years. I used Hypnotherapist because it's now considered that 95% of all thoughts and behaviors are sourced in the subconscious. Therefore working with the subconscious is the most effective and sustainable avenue through which to create lasting change. In addition as my client you will learn skills that will be valuable for a lifetime.
It's wise to be vulnerable, to reach out for help, to acknowledge that you don't know what to do. By being vulnerable you share with others that you are just like them, unable to know everything and at times challenged, with feelings, and emotions, and needs. By being vulnerable you find your answers, your healing, and your success.
It's very important to be discerning when being vulnerable. Be sure to research and find the expert you need with the length of experience, care, and expertise that is proven. Be sure that you resonate with that individual beyond their being nice or sweet. Being nice is okay however it does not necessarily make that individual the most qualified to help you.
Being vulnerable is allowing your heart to love, both yourself and your commonality with all others living this human experience. I'm still vulnerable after decades of experiences in this life. I will continue learning and growing. And by being vulnerable, I'm able to allow my tender heart to be felt by all. This allows others to know that it's okay for them too. As in all things, using Wisdom is essential in who and how we are with others. Only engage others who are kind, and caring, and want the best for you and you will be able to be vulnerable, learning, growing, and finding the knowledge that you need in life. I work globally online and in office in Ashland and Grants Pass. Let's talk.
Accessing the full power of your mind is like turning on the lights of a dark room, and finding that you hold unlimited possibilities. Much is revealed, you have clear direction and regain control, with valuable skills for a lifetime.
