Homesick for a place…

I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.

— Melissa Cox 

My favourite therapist says the place we are homesick for is actually the total and complete reconnection with ourselves. He explains that as we look for love/romance, we are looking to “plug in” to another person to feel whole… but, in fact, we need to plug back into ourselves. He says that many of us were not  loved unconditionally growing up, and so we end up looking for a relationship, a person, to soothe this ill. But he says we need to heal our own wounds, and perhaps learn some new relationship skills, in order to invite a healthy relationship that is defined by respectful boundaries, unconditional love and mutually compassionate support. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
