Being open, and genuine about feelings of the
heart, mind, body and soul. Trust without self judgement or
fear of reaction and judgment from others. Joy, acceptance, love pain, sadness, or illness may come to the forefront of attention and feel overwhelming when one is vulnerable; because of being exposed to pure honest emotions. There is healing, strength and
power in having confidence to admit, let go and forgive. Vulnerability is a chance to grow and shed pieces of the past. One can be susceptible to being attacked or influenced if
fear is present or in being in a fearful or unsafe situation. That is being defenseless and helpless in not standing in your
power.
His
open confident vulnerable expression showed me that I was in a safe space; that I could also feel
open about my feelings, while standing strong and powerful in not judging the
emotions coming through.
