“Remember: We are in the trustbroken economy. The shit LOAD is operative everywhere. So even if you’re one-to-one over a cup of coffee or a Zoom chat, always remember the rule: Nobody is paying attention. Not ’cause they don’t want to but because neurologically, they probably can’t. The capacity is spent. Their brain is working overtime to compensate for their own sapped vulnerabilities. You can help them attune to connection by paying attention.”
