Many of us walk around with unconscious defences, most of which we'd never imagine effects other people. Over the years you'd be surprised by the experience I've had working with outwardly confident, successful, and seemingly independent people whose presence in the world is one they struggle to integrate as a measure of self worth.
Abandonment wounds run deep, creating groves of hidden insecurity otherwise unattended to without granting yourself the simple permission to be human; to expose your vulnerability and surrender to the process of healing.
It doesn't matter how someone may look on the outside, or how far their reach into the world - turn us inside out and we are all same; adult children growing out of stories. And regardless of age, s*x, race, or status these stories are made of common threads, abandonment being one of them.
Be brave. Be human. Relate. Elevate.
