The worst form of isolation and the deepest source of loneliness comes from being cut off from our child within.

The worst form of isolation and the deepest source of loneliness comes from being cut off from our child within. This occurs when we fail to make contact with our intuitive voice—because it is buried under abuse, disrespect, traumas that require too much painful effort to excavate. Instead of living with our authenticity shining through, we wear a mask as we interact in the world—even with our closest companions. We are there—but not present. We are dissociated due to disrespect, abuse and trauma.
