Reflections
I appreciated
- the reminders from Laura about respecting each other's stories, about content warning (if there is sexuality or violence) because this is also respect for the audience.
- Sharing stories build empathy, break down barriers, help people to see each other as human.
- Truth telling is freeing, healing and gives identity.
Telling our personal stories is not therapy and so we must do some work so we will not burst into tears.
