He explains how recognizing these patterns and developing self-awareness can help leaders respond to stress in healthier ways. Akers emphasizes the importance of moving toward trusted people rather than isolating yourself when struggling. He also highlights counseling as a safe and objective space for developing self-awareness, vulnerability, and healthier relationships. Finally, he discusses the importance of building a personal support team and explains how vulnerability, although difficult and frightening, can lead to healing and help reduce the loneliness often experienced in ministry.
