I have a different viewpoint and connotation of the word 'vulnerable', but that is okay too. I think of vulnerability as a state of being where human beings are susceptible to the human condition and may experience emotions. I would not think of the state itself with any kind of negative judgment, but rather with acceptance of our true nature. It is in the acceptance of this state that I see beauty and connection with others…a gift of our humanity.

I wasn’t thinking so much in specific terminology, though perhaps the T was in this case, I do not know. I haven’t heard this term before, but that is not a huge surprise either.

I also tend to view life with an idealistic and feeling eye and not so much clinical. Diversity is a beautiful thing.

Maybe ask your T to elaborate on what he/she meant?

Take care.

I cross-posted there, but I think your post separates it nicely, Perna. It isn't the vulnerability in and of itself that is negative, though perhaps the negative affectivity may be..
