Dear Raddums:

It all started well, for most of us born as healthy babies- we loved our parents and didn’t fear them. Then the people loved most, a mother, a father, both maybe, hurt us and it hurt so very badly. It was then that fear in the context of love entered our minds and hearts. Fast forward, as adults we want love and we fear it all at the same time (“I long for deeper relationships but I shun them when I am close to getting one”).

“How do I start again?”- do any and all the emotional healing that is possible for you, healing from the hurt I mentioned, the core hurt, that of being hurt by the one or ones you loved most, your parents. So to lessen that fear. Less fear- more love, to put it simply.

Did you attend psychotherapy so far?
