Comments on: Learning the language of emotion http://drkatrinawood.com/2008/12/13/learning-the-language-of-emotion/ Dr. Katrina Wood Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:41:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dr Wood http://drkatrinawood.com/2008/12/13/learning-the-language-of-emotion/comment-page-1/#comment-183 Dr Wood Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:52:18 +0000 http://drkatrinawood.com/?p=99#comment-183 Thanks for your question, Godfrey: The language of emotion does not discriminate among cultures, the road to intimacy and connection at its heart requires the preservation of the child part of who we are, in essence our vulnerability. For it is our child who experiences wonder, awe, innocence, longing and the desire to give and receive love. Protecting this part of ourselves or reclaiming that innocence that was tainted or shattered becomes a crucial part of the restoration of who we are as human beings. Go back to his childhood, remember with him what toys he loved even if there were but a few, go into the early memories of what made him curious about life what made his eyes wide with wonder, and together share memories and time together to rebuild the innocence lost. All things are possible but hold onto the child part of yourself and bring it to him and see little by little what can be found. Thanks for your question, Godfrey:
