"When my wounds rub up against your wounds.” ❤️🩹 I had this happen with my favorite yoga teacher once who--literally--yelled at me in class when I opened a mat bag (rather loudly) during the opening invocation. I was only a minute late, and I didn't think anyone would care. I was so hurt, almost scared, when she yelled that I almost cried. She was my favorite teacher and the studio has been a safe space for me for a long time. I told her later, you yelled at me like my mom! She told me back, you interrupted my class like my brother! Absolutely uncaring! We realized we were both projecting. It took a lot of hugs, others involved, and a few more classes to come back to ourselves and the lovely relationship we'd had before that minor event.
I am so sorry you had that experience and also so glad that you were able to talk about it and work through it since that’s not always the case. We do have these complicated wounds and project so much!

I found this easy to relate to. I think it was because it was from a reality tv perspective.
