In that there is fear and a gradual isolation. Now, we are asking: Is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?” PastOrderHurtBuildingWallConsequenceAskingOneselfIsolationBeing HurtRelationships With OthersWithdrawing Book:The Flame of Attention Source: The Flame of Attention
