Be Willing to Share Pain

More often than not, the most healing thing we can do with someone who is in pain, rather than trying to get rid of that pain, is to sit there and be willing to share it. –Scott Peck

A child will integrate only those experiences that her primary care-givers can accept and hold, and will exclude from awareness those thoughts, feelings and behaviors that might disrupt her most crucial attachment relationships. These unacceptable experiences then remain undeveloped, unintegrated, and impossible to verbalize. They become … nearly unreachable places in the psyche that hold implicit experiences of relational trauma.
