@LinkedInHelp Went through the verification process, but was told l"could not verify." (Maybe because my mobile defaulted to an old profile, not the one I currently use and need to unlock.) When I try again to verify, I'm told I have reached the max # of attempts. Please advise.

🏳️‍⚧️ This is what courage looks like: Niko, a trans 10-year-old, drove hours with his father to testify against S.627, which prohibits gender-affirming care. The subcommittee chair cut off testimony, blocking them from speaking - so he’s sharing here. Please RT #SupportTransYouthSC

A particular trigger for lots of complex trauma survivors is being observed. Being watched-- or even noticed-- was often a precursor to punishment once upon a time.

You will be disrespected by people who envy your ability to be authentic. You will be dismissed by people who fear your strength in how you address your pain. You will be critiqued by oppressors as you find the things that set you free. It’s your life. Don’t slow down for them.

Your soul has stood so powerfully strong this year. No matter what tested you, what came your way, what did or didn’t happen, you are still here, still believing. It only gets better from here. Be proud of yourself.

We damage the dignity of others when we refuse to wait for them – whether they need to tie their own shoes or they are struggling to find words for the indescribable. We bestow honor on another when we consider him or her worth waiting for.

This will be the year your entire life changes in a positive way. Everything will work out!

Narcissism comes from a lack of emotional development in childhood. If you look at narcissistic behaviors, they’re ego centric and emotionally immature— they mirror the developmental period from age 3-7. Many people don’t mature beyond this.
