It develops when we experience a trauma but can't access the tools or freedom to express how we feel--or are denied the ability to ask for the care we need. It shows up when we aren't witnessed--whether by a loved one, our community, our culture, or anyone from whom we need to hear: \u003ci\u003e whatever happened to you, these parts of you that you think are unlovable or wrong--you're not broken.
