From a reading:
The fear is like a leash that keeps you from wandering out too far. ‘Do nothing, hide under the bed, stay safe.’ It functions as an emotional limp, a foot you are careful not to put much weight on.
After an extended period of time being very withdrawn, you become very disconnected from your inner voice. You lowered your expectations to shield from disappointment and learned to keep your heart quiet, your passions secret–not putting your soul out there on display meant nobody could step on it.
But the environment has changed. Now, the only person who can hold you down is you. Find the space to let that song out. You can plug back in and that’s where you really heal.
What do you see?
