Inspiration from Rachel Remen

I'm currently reading and being deeply inspired by Kitchen Table Wisdom - Stories that Heal by Rachel Remen. Here's a section that moved me deeply. I hope you find it as powerful as I do.

Rachel Remen describes a demonstration by Dr. Carl Rogers. Dr. Rogers introduced the demo this way:

"Before every session I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human. No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulernable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it. This is what will allow his healing to begin."
