[Victoria Guthrie]

John, is this a good thing for you or is something else driving you to leave?

[John Brown]

It’s a trigger response … my childhood ptsd from neglect causes this at times. 🙏🏻🤍

[Victoria Guthrie]

How was this platform causing those feelings of neglect to come up?

[John Brown]

It's that inner child, the ego feeling the need for validation and attention, but not getting it.

Good luck John!!!!
