In this short monologue, Dr. Wayne Pernell explains that as overall uncertainty spikes, people’s ability to be vulnerable contracts. He notes that while vulnerability levels have remained relatively stable, heightened uncertainty makes it harder for individuals—especially parents, leaders, and senior executives—to expand their vulnerability range. The core issue is the tension between the desire for control and the need to be vulnerable; when uncertainty is high, the willingness to let go of control diminishes. Pernell illustrates this with the example of parenting, where personal vulnerability is already at its peak, leaving a very narrow tolerance for additional uncertainty.
