Developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld says that "All anxiety is separation anxiety", and I add that it's fundamentally a separation from within yourself. Stress and trauma in childhood that is not resolved by a loving, attuned parent or caregiver slowly splits us from the inside into a REACTIVE and an AUTHENTIC self. Like splitting the atom, this separation within ourselves creates a tremendous amount of energy that becomes stored in our system in a form I call ALARM. You can't heal from anxiety until you resolve this split and you can't resolve this ALARM and heal until you fully see, accept and embrace your own innocence. Therefore until you stop judging yourself and instead fully embrace your innocent authentic (child) self, you will always struggle with chronic emotional pain.
