'There are concepts that sometimes feel very connected but are actually distinct. When they’re not distinguished from each other, they act like dominoes. When one domino falls, all the other dominoes fall, too. It can look like “I’m hurt, therefore you must have wronged me, therefore you’re a bad person, therefore you must be punished.”'

'Listening ≠ Obeying, Understanding ≠ Condoning
Internally: you can listen to the angry part of yourself without lashing out. You can listen to the helpless part of yourself without giving up.
Externally: you can listen to someone you’re angry at without doing what they say or giving up your own perspective. You can ask someone to validate your feelings without asking them to agree with your thoughts.'
