Behaviour Management – Growing Up With Vulnerability
Whenever I hear the words resilience, vulnerability and empowerment, they bring to mind some thought-provoking questions. Does vulnerability+ resilience = empowerment? Is this the most powerful combination of words in the English dictionary? Is it possible to talk about one word without mentioning the others?
I often discuss how the key to understanding how our emotions, thoughts and energy is in our experiences, particularly the tricky ones.
