Sometimes a baby will cry not because it’s hungry or in need of a diaper change, sometimes it just wants to be held by the people it trusts and feels safe with. Why do we seem to assume that adults don’t have the need to be held? Why do we seem to assume that being held is not going to help anything? We seem to have forgotten how important it is to feel safe and seen, and how it is especially important when we are in crisis.
By feeling close and safe with someone we find the strength to deal with our crisis. Communicating through a screen isn’t enough to make someone feel truly supported, valued, taken seriously and less alone.
Is there anyone in your life who could use your embrace today? How much would it take for you to go and do that? And if today was your last chance, would you make it happen?
