Well, I think that,

I think that what happens is, one thing that I see is that if you grew up in a dysregulated home, meaning if your parent or parents struggled with mental health issues, addiction, What that creates is you learn as a child that you need to be able to read the room.

You need to be safe to be able to navigate the experiences, the feelings, the emotional state of the people that are in charge of your well-being.

That means that most of your childhood is experienced through other people's nervous systems and thought processes.

You develop less of that for yourself of knowing who you are as an autonomous being.

Your role is to read everybody else and maybe even placate or you know, try to be the good one that keeps everybody calm or knows when to get out of the room because things are going to explode.

That develops a much higher level of empathy because that's been really cultivated.

So how does all of this encompass and wrap into the path to freedom practice?
