EWR : 07 Our armor & the disconnection it brings

Embodied Writing : Relating, relationships, & trauma series

This week we begin to explore our "armor" or the ways we "protect" ourselves from heartache.  In other words, the ways we keep ourselves disconnected from others.

A truth is, we all need protection at various points and in various areas of our lives.  Our armor has served its purpose in the past, and may still serve a purpose now, but is no longer helpful for us in our emotionally intimate relationships; because while it protects us, it also keeps us from connecting with others and even with ourselves.
