She started taking people out for coffee, but only the people who had shared, only the people who had something that really was a trauma of some sort. And there were people who I could see their eyes trailing off as they were telling a story. And then their eyes would come back into the room and they would look to see if she was engaged in what they were saying.

And there were people who I could see their eyes trailing off as they were telling a story. And then their eyes would come back into the room and they would look to see if she was engaged in what they were saying.

And if she seemed to not be so engaged, they would kind of turn up the volume on their story. And so there were people who would tell a story and then say, I really, you know what, I want to add more to my story. And when people say that, it could be that now they feel comfortable. It could be that they realize it wasn't compelling enough to get them a front row seat.

So there was so much happening in that space. And I remember talking to a friend of the family, a friend of my mom's actually, who was a psychologist for many years. I was telling her about this. And I said, you know, There's also this language of withholding and resistance. So if you don't share, you're withholding and you're not being kind to the other people in the room who have shared.

So there was this guilt and a sense of responsibility you then had to other people to share because after all they did. So why do you feel like you can hide out and be selfish with your information? And then also, why are you being so resistant? What is it about your past that makes you so resistant to sharing?

So the psychologist who I love, who is a professor, she said, why don't you do a social experiment? This woman's not your therapist. These are not your friends. This is a class. make up a story. So, I just went and the next time there was a class, I just made up a story, which was very uncomfortable for me because I'm a straight shooter.

And I thought, but it's worth it for this experiment because I was already planning to talk to the dean. I thought, let me have my material that I need to use to bring to him. So, I just said, you know, that time that I talked about having that illness when I was young and I almost died and You know what? It made me fearful for the rest of my life. And it's true. I was very sensitive.

I had Stevens-Johnson syndrome when I was a year and a half. And it can be fatal if it's not treated. And it left me with very sensitive skin and different physical issues. But I got past it. And I just said, I have never gotten past it. The amount of attention paid to me suddenly. People got up. I was surrounded. They hugged me. The teacher invited me to join for coffee later.
