When I am evaluated, I am vulnerable. Danger may come from anywhere. Can I protect myself?

As an overarching summary, I don't think it gets more spot-on that this. Now THIS is something I could really chew on with my T if I went back to therapy. My husband has been at me for years to listen to & read Brene Brown's work. It's pretty heavily tied to how I relate to a lot of things in life, in terms of feeling evaluated/judged, avoiding vulnerability at all costs, and feeling/fearing shame all the time over what are common human experiences.
Or, maybe I'll save the $, dream another rich dream tonight, and get back to you in the morning for some more insight!
Seriously, though - you've given me a lot to think over and no small amount of peace over something that disturbed me all morning. Thank you for that...
