Recognize Backwards Advice in Language

One reason most advice doesn't work for us is that it's backwards. It's telling us to do/have the end result, rather than showing us how to get there.

In the case of safety or shame, it's pretty clear that we can't just leap to the end of the process (if there even is one with a traumatized body).

Mentioned in episode:

1. Toxic Shame: What it is and How to Heal From it (YouTube, Heidi Priebe. Her take is overall better/more accessible than the book she's referencing, which is shockingly triggering all over the place)
