I think the first step is acknowledgement. Once you understand that you have the problem, you can then try to figure out why. Once the why is established, then comes the How to Fix part. One step at a time is key in my opinion. But I'm no one to talk. I'm currently dealing with my own scars. Everyone in some way is scarred and no matter who you'll meet there will always be emotionally scarring. I think (in my opinion) that it's how we choose to deal with it, or not deal with it, that defines us. You know who you are, and you know that there are trust issues there. Start with baby steps maybe. Start with meditating on your shield alone in a room, then maybe gradually bring in someone you love and trust implicitly and go from there. I myself am still working through the emotional scars I carry from childhood. But I know they're there, and am beginning to face them. I acknowledge them, and for today that is enough. Just for today... right Hobbes?
You are not alone. And you'll be fine if you lower it to right people. You will not lose yourself. Only the feeling of being unreachable will be lost. I have the utmost faith in you. You are my teacher, and I have learned so much from you in a short time. You already know the answers to your questions deep inside of you I'm sure. The only thing left is to realize it.
