How to Find Your Way Back to
Connection
Loneliness is reaching endemic proportions in our society,
reflected by rising suicide rates and increased mental illness.
Now, more than ever we need to find a way to connect.
The pain of the human condition is that we walk this earth with
multiple billions of other people and yet each of us feels alone.
The Anatomy of Loneliness is for
people who suffer from loneliness, the kind that cannot be solved
by simply being around other people. Their aloneness is a deeply
embedded pattern that is both negative and painful; it is often
fuelled by trauma, loss, addiction, grief and a lack of self-esteem
and insecurity.
In The Anatomy of
Loneliness, Teal identifies the three
pillars of loneliness: Separation, Shame and
Fear and goes on to share her revolutionary healing
technique; The Connection Process, that guides the
reader through a series of exercises, helping them to face their
fears and, ultimately to experience connection once again.
Teal demonstrates that in order to be loved to our core, we have to
risk exposing it, be prepared to show our vulnerability and that
owning our shame is the key to ending it. She also shows us that
there is a difference between what actually happens to us and the
meaning we make of it and it’s important to decipher what’s ‘ours’
and what is ‘theirs’ in any given conflict. Teal explains that
Intimacy can be broken down into three very important syllables:
“into me see” and for real intimacy to exist we need to see into
each other for who we truly are and listen to the feelings beyond
the words.
All pain in this world is initiated by some kind of separation.
Separation from our source, separation from our essence, separation
from our mothers, separation from ourselves, separation from what
we fear and separation from what we love until we ultimately find
ourselves shrouded in loneliness. The Anatomy of
Loneliness leads us back to connection and tells
us that every moment is a choice to close or to open. Teal ends by
telling us to find people who have chosen the path of connection
and let them walk beside us, hand-in-hand, into the world. In order
to find them, we need to be brave enough to connect, be brave
enough to love.
