Thank you for *your* support!
I have complex PTSD and not much in the way of literal dissociation with its loss of time, etc., but as you know I have the conflicting ego states that I am fully aware of. They have such different goals, thoughts, beliefs, etc. that I feel like I swim in chaos.
I am interested in what you said about secure attachments. I struggle with this as well. Only the very young part of me has the ability (or even the desire) to attach. The withdrawn young teenager is the most hurt, and she can't even speak. If you're willing to discuss it, what part of you lacks attachment? Do you think it's important for your adult part to attach, or do you think the healing needs to be that the younger parts have someone secure and safe and to be "reparented" in essence?
I think I have a huge problem trusting anyone, and it's particularly frightening to trust someone who knows so much about you and could hurt you so much.
