Suffering occurs in the context of relationships: the relationship to our inner life, to our particular experiences or to the people within our life.
“Perhaps the deepest suffering that we hold is the suffering which arises due to loss of trust in relationship itself and to the subsequent pain of intimacy. In this, we lose trust in the safety and potential of relationship, and intimacy itself is experienced as painful. Intimacy, the experience of a depth of contact with self and other, becomes painful and threatening. People end up both deeply yearning for intimacy and deeply afraid of it. ... Because of this, it seems that the deepest healing processes are those that occur within the context of relationship.” Franklyn Sills
In the Craniosacral context incessantly a relationship is created, which keeps the possibility open that the trust in the contact can be renegotiated. This happens in a not condemning field of being present and respectful listening.
