SIMPLE INTIMACY

After my father died when I was 13, I went from living in already an unhappy childhood to spending the next 20 years out of body. Among other defense mechanisms I used dissociating as way to not experience the trauma and pain that I had been surpressing... I knew that, even though I wasn't there, I could experience wholeness, joy, and peace again and in fact it was safe and simply human to be that way. Shortly after my father's death I went on a quest to find this experience of humanity again.
