vulnerable

Someone who is completely and rawly open, unguarded with their heart, mind, and soul. Being vulnerable happens when you trust completely. Rather its vulnerability by pain or joy, it's being exposed with all of the emotions that make it easy for someone (someone you trust) to really do some emotional damage or healing.. Vulnerability is the surrender of all control and personal power in regards to letting someone close enough to destroy you!

Vulnerable

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.
