Attachment trauma
Unfathomably pervasive
Emerging when we can’t heal from loss
When we can’t grieve
When we can’t forgive ourselves
When we can’t make amends by living in greater integrity
Trauma is an open wound
Blood of unprocessed pain
Pouring forth
Endangering the emotionally wounded
Our antidote is the scar
Forever marking the wound
But in alchemy
Integrating insight gained through pain
Processing within sacred community
Scar tissue is a sign of strength
Transforming the base metals of suffering
Creating platinum regalia and gold psychic armor
On some level
Attachment trauma
Is a universal human experience
We face rejection and betrayal
Jealousy and envy
The toxic twins of guilt and shame
We can learn from all of these emotional angels
Welcoming what feels painful in the moment
Recognizing that pain is a portal to growth
We draw strength from pain
Cultivating scar tissue
Sometimes we just need to be heard
Graced by the gift of empathy
Sometimes we need to be held
That intimate touch of unconditional love
We heal together
We heal in community
We infuse our scar tissue
With this transcendent love
Scars radiate strength
All that we struggle through
Becomes emotional armor
Scar tissue is our salvation
It is evolutionary destiny
We heal attachment trauma
We amplify our psychic power
Reintegrating trust and love
Cultivating the sacred prophecy of connection
Activating the prophetic cauldron of empathy
