When she was a kid, she was the youngest and she had to fight for attention.
So she was loud.
She would scream.
She was what they would call too much all the time.
And so as a kid, she internalized this belief of I am too much.
And so when this label got attached to her intense, it brought back all those memories.
And so if someone has a label like this, what's really important to do is to acknowledge that you don't have to necessarily rip it off.
You can replace it.
So with her, I said, okay, so describe your intensity to me.
And she described what it meant.
And I said, okay, well, I see that as passion.
What if you said I'm passionate?
And she had this moment of recognition in her face.
She said, oh my goodness, you are so right.
I'm passionate about what I do.
I'm passionate about life.
That is why I care so much.
It's pure passion.
It's not intensity.
And that moment of recognition fundamentally changed the meaning she'd applied to the quality that she had.
