“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” - Fred Rogers

If you have been brutully borken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself. - Nikita Gill

If you grew up in a family that felt like a prison, you may have issues with engulfment throughout your life. That is, you may begin to feel like you are trapped, whenever you make a commitment to a relationship, a job, a place to live. If you haven’t done enough work to heal the early life issues, it is very easy to project the expectation of suffering onto anything that you have committed to. It all begins to feel like the same old prison, even if it isn’t. Symptoms of unresolved engulfment issues include a perpetual need to be on the move geographically; a persistent quitting of jobs; a never-ending quest for ‘the one’; an addiction to seeking (even after finding); the termination of love relationships when they get too close; and the preferring of fantasy and part-time lovers to intimacy with your partner. Sometimes it is true that you are experiencing these symptoms because you are truly not where you belong, but not always. Sometimes it has nothing to do with true-path at all, but everything to do with the need to heal unresolved early-life material. Once healed, the engulfment projections can fall away and you can begin to celebrate the commitments that you have chosen. Not a prison in fact, but a liberating opportunity to heal and transform. - Jeff Brown
