Thank you. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for expressing so beautifully these concerns that I also wrestle with.

I think the following ties in with your piece. When sitting with painful feelings, eventually, I try to note what I could be grateful for in this very experience.

Then, my first thought is that other people have also gone through this pain/awfulness/un-bearableness, that this is part of the (ahem) richness of being human. And the next is gratefulness, for this experience can give me more understanding and empathy.

I came to this piece from your TPM book recommendations. Thank you for taking care of TPM and doing the crucial and important work of keeping it going!
