Episode 147: Separation Anxiety

Summary

When people are about to cross a big threshold they often unconsciously try to destroy what they’re leaving behind in order to be able to leave it. Teens do this when they are going off to college or moving out of the family home. Toddlers do it in a smaller way when they are testing their autonomy out in the world away from the arms of their parents. It is a fascinating pattern.

I am trying to be conscious of it as I close this chapter and prepare for my travels. I am trying to learn from past mistakes. With me luck.

I have a Patreon page! Please check it out. If you make a small pledge you’ll get to see photos and clips from my journals and hear a bit more about some of the stories. This is a fun way that I can share visuals with you.
