Daisy,
What hard stuff you are dealing with now. I'm glad you were able to take the day off, and that you see your T on Monday. Like Speaker said, please call your T if it gets too hard over the weekend. That is what he is for. And try to listen to your little Daisy if you can. She does have important things to say. Think about what you would do if your son threw a tantrum. How would you soothe him enough to let him talk about what he needs?I think journalling is an excellent idea when you are ready. I have had a client before journal with different "voices" for her head, her heart, and her gut. Essentially, these symbolized her thinking, her feeling, and her behavior parts. She used different color ink for each part, and sometimes they dialoged with each other, sometimes it was just monologues that were unrelated. She found it to be really helpful, and I do believe it helped her do work outside of sessions and to cope when difficult emotions or triggering situations came up.
Whatever works for you, whether it is posting here, calling your T, journalling, pampering both of you, please know that you are in my thoughts, and I'm sending out as much supportive energy your way as I can.
Take care,
gg
