It’s so funny to read this when it so intimately connects to how I started reading your work in the first place-I wanted to support a canceled loved one and my therapist suggested your work.
"If any criticism or feedback triggers him into the embodied experience of being dehumanized, shamed, and exiled, he will really struggle to listen to criticism or feedback". This is probably the most important take about cancellation (even if one denies the huge impact on the person being cancelled): it is not effective, period. I have seen this is many instances, and there is no other way around it. Real change comes from community, relationships. Never isolation
