Dances with Scorpions

A talk about not taking things personally. It’s really hard when people we care about - or even people we don’t know at all - behave in ways that are deeply confusing, hurtful, thoughtless, surprising or lacking in empathy. It can feel like some kind of reflection on us, especially if we’re talking about betrayal or rejection. If you struggle with this (and who doesn’t sometimes), the tale of the scorpion and the frog is a good one, and hopefully this talk will help make it a little easier next time you find yourself questioning your worth or your sanity because of someone else’s behavior.
