Another thought: While I am not entirely sure what you mean by ‘generative space’, I do remember that the sense of being different, a humming physical sensation felt at the same time as keeping me apart and a gift. That drove me to research humanities… until early in my thirties, through feminist psychodrama, a shift occured and my eyes opened: Aloneness has not changed, but gradually I have moved in with myself…

my own reflection continuing: … once that shift had occurred, the most important thing to learn, with hindsight, was how deeply I could trust and was trusting my intuition. That and layers of guilt and anger.
