Many thanks Open,

As someone who used to be very extrovert and involved in all the acute dramas of "life", I have increasingly found myself doing quite the opposite in recent years. Being content in solitude is now the "norm" for me and is a lovely, peaceful place to be.

It was fascinating on the recent course to observe the very healthy relationships between people and contrast those with what is commonly seen otherwise. I recently tried to "help" an acquaintance who very much seems to represent the "wounded Goddess" you discuss and feel this could have been very helpful at that time .... we shall see.

Many thanks for this, I will definitely be exploring it further.
Brian
