Most important, toxic socialization disconnects. "The most important obstacle to that kind of openness is a history of traumatic experiences that lead to emotional and physical blockages, a kind of Reichian armoring that separates us from the rest of the world." (Lazslo, Groff, Russell, 1999: 98). The question is, how to "free ourselves" from the blockages. How to open up. To do so we must Heal and reConnect.
