Reading this was a mindfuck— a good one! Very convicting because tbh I see/find myself at both extremes of the dynamic simultaneously, but in a completely different and (unfortunately) power-dynamic-laden context 😓

I was also wondering about the diagram from ig, thanks for sharing more on that! It resonated. I went to my first “circling” session in Austin this week and the diagram maps very well to my experience of it, specifically to “my story” and to some extent “the story” (I think there was too much awareness in the room for much groupthink haha). But one thing that I wish could be worked into somehow is a notion of “your story” or “others’ story” at the innermost level as like a sibling to “my story.”

Communication is dizzying— It’s all such a game of telephone, even when played consciously / in integrity. Anyway if you haven’t heard of circling, Relateful is the place here, they have in person and online sessions. As a group practice it seems to aim at getting past all the individual stories to The Story, which seems very aligned with these themes
