SESSION INFORMATION

How open are you about who you are? Some parts of your identity you likely discuss openly, while others you might share with only a select few. Sometimes it's just not the right time or place or audience for vulnerability. But the more we start to bring our full selves into a situation, the more we can do the unique work each of us has within us, and the more we can make space for others with their own unique experiences.
