It helps me to hear you say that sometimes you need to go as much as 4x in a week. I never thought about it as the child state wanting to go but that makes total sense of this constant struggle I have about wanting to go and not wanting to be "that" needy. My Therapist did something yesterday that he rarely does -- he actual took charge at the end of the session. He had asked me if I wanted to come back today and I told him yes and no. He said, "I think you SHOULD come back, I think you NEED to come back and I WANT you to come tomorrow." I felt this profound sense of relief and agreed. I think the child part of me, who is so out right now, really wanted an adult to be in charge and do the right thing. So I know what you mean by allowing more of yourself out because of how they deal with it all.
Of course I'm cheering for you. I hope we can learn from each other as we share our struggles. I'm interested in how you do a little bit at a time. I seem to do it in clumps. Do you find journaling helps?
