🔸 A haunted place, a ghost town. The hooks are in.
📌 Scott followed up:
Was really interesting for me how things rapidly unfolded at the end as we were wrapping up. I was trying to engage that part at the door of a former friends house, at the time I was in college-- someone he felt let him down, didn't really love him. And he needed help and guidance desperately at that time. He thought that I was the exile. I knew because I felt all of this flood of exile energy, but I also showed him that it didn't affect me, and I invited him to take a walk down the street. And have encountered that exile ever since I can remember. Most likely an infant -- not only emotional pain but a real physical pain, like from a surgical procedure and being held down and defenseless. And this time was different in the sense of being somewhat immune to it but still highly aware of those sensations. Maybe the necessity of being there for this part allowed me to stand up to it.

I don’t know. I just focused on my own curiosity and presence. Still don’t know the magic words
