From birth each of us sets out to discover who we really are. But when trauma occurs we create ways to survive. Often we split into pieces and abandon the most vulnerable parts of ourselves, boxing them up in tiny packages and tossing them away. Later, we spend our lives looking for these parcels. Hoping to meet someone that can help us find these lost, splintered, pieces of ourselves.
