Wounded by an Arrow | Olivia #11 | 8.17.21

Olivia tells Dhammarato about an unpleasant story with her friends. Dhammarato identifies the feeling behind the hurt as a sense of loss and helps her turn her attitude around by ensuring that "being chipped" (or wounded) is okay. He explains that there is an opportunity for practicing a real freedom in letting it go.
