-It is challenging to be vulnerable, mainly because of the identities we hold 
-We have a desire for  control and predictability 
-It can be hard to admit when we need help, there is a fear of what might come back to "bite us."
-How are we setting up a safe environment for ourselves & others
-Vulnerability is difficult without trust
-We have to be vulnerable with ourselves and truly look in the mirror
-We have to set boundaries around vulnerability
