So how do we start a healing process? Connection is key. We must speak out and up against all the forces that keep us from seeing each other and loving each other, a huge amount of this work is for those of us with the most privilege. It is a delicate dance between finding our own power and sense of self, standing up for ourselves and what is right, and yet we can't really do life alone, we are wired for connection. Recovery happens in relationship.

Did you know butterflies rest when it rains because it damages their wings? It’s okay to rest during the storms of life. You’ll always fly again once it’s over.

"Childhood emotional neglect is a parent’s failure to respond enough to the child’s emotional needs. Emotional neglect is, in some ways, the opposite of mistreatment and abuse. Whereas mistreatment and abuse are parental acts, Emotional neglect is a parent’s failure to act.

It’s a failure to notice, attend to, or respond appropriately to a child’s feelings. Because it’s an act of omission, it’s not visible, noticeable or memorable... It is insidious and overlooked while it does its silent damage to people’s lives."
-Dr. Jonice Web

AND we can bring this into consciousness as adults, work through the pain and protest as we learn to turn toward our emotional experiences which are a huge part of being alive.
