In order to evolve in the stages, each of us, has to face the same issues. We have to face our traumas, feel our buried rage, and grieve what we have lost – and what we might have become if we had been better nurtured. It is crushingly painful to be raised in a world that doesn’t support or often even acknowledge one’s feelings, and instead pathologies them. But if we can grow true and express every iota of who we really are, then our world needs us more than ever. We model something that everyone needs: a connection with and a public acknowledgement of our beautiful and disenfranchised child within.
