Dear Tracey,
You are so right when you speak of the loss that can be experienced when a cord is cut. If the thoughts/emotions surrounding the attachment have not been worked through, a person may cut the cord as a way around doing their personal work. When the cord is then cut, even though they felt they wanted it cut, the result can be a strong feeling of abandonment.
I do feel their are times that cutting cords is appropriate. I also feel, however, that it is often used as a substitute for working through our issues and personal healing. And it should be remembered that we allowed the cord to be placed and our need is something that should be addressed.
All blessings,
Lesley
