Lately I have become aware of a theme among people who share their innermost experiences with me. Sensitive people who sometimes struggle with feeling disconnected from their homes. Either through becoming uprooted by circumstance or feeling disconnected due to temperamental differences with others in their families or communities. Through history, artists and philosophers have contemplated similar experiences. If you peel back the proverbial onion’s layers far enough, what’s laid bare can be very lonely; and many have been told not to dig too deeply as you may not find what you’re looking for.
However some highly inquisitive people just can’t stop seeking deeper understanding.
Something therapy can help with is learning and practicing sitting with these feelings and staying tuned in through the uncertainty and awkwardness, staying connected to the self and others through the haze of sensation. You can learn to be more fulfilled alone and together; taking notice of the special moments of connection and carry them forward.
There are past moments which I almost didn’t register at the time, which I can now think back to and be lifted up. I can see each one of these moments as a brick in the structure of my life and my sense of myself in connection to others. I really love the home inside myself which I have built, and delight in sharing time together with my dear chosen visitors, collaborators and loved ones who come see me there.
