Nu er troldommen hævet i zonerne for den tidlige stivnen. Fordi nogen går bagved, bliver ensomhed til frihed. De områder, der før på grund af den tidligt manglende kærlighed var forurenede, bliver nu tilgængelige. Selv når der ikke mere går en terapeut bagved, står erfaringen tilbage: 'Det går; jeg går.

Hvordan skulle de være det, da den tidlige kærlighedsmangels traumatiske spor aldrig kan udviskes helt, og følelsen af fremmedhed desuden er menneskets grundbefindende! De uelskedes sår vil altid springe op på ny ved livets kritiske tidspunkter. Men vi kender retningen: Vi må igen slippe en afhængighed fri for at give plads for kærligheden. De uelskedes sår er det skød, vi fødes af mange gange.
