  1. Great post, Claudio. We all have fears no matter how long we are teaching but we are not willing to be vulnerable in ways that can help each other. Thanks for being as vulnerable as you can here. I think race/ethnicity, gender, context can all impact the fears we must deal with, as you know. It is wonderful that you had access to trusted, capable therapist. We all need this, but don’t have it for different reasons, including finances. Thanks again for this post!

  2. Dr. Carvalhaes, this is one of my biggest fears as it relates to teaching. Thank you for sharing because it proves (to me) that I am not the only one who feels this way.
