This is such insightful work by Winnicott.
There are so many strands here.... think back to that wonderful childhood game of hide and seek. To find the perfect hiding place prompted so many exquisite emotions. Pure joy at knowing you've secured the best hiding place. When, then, do your feelings start to change? When do they slip into despair and horror?
The realisation that you are not being found....
What do you do? Declare your position or remain hidden? Do you not matter because you are hidden still, or are you jubilant?
And what about everyday life?
Are you hiding or seen.........
