> I think I'd just explain that, and add whatever bringing the doll does do for therapy for you. Like, for me, I used the doll to help open access to my more vulnerable side. Which didn't mean the doll had anything to say in session. :)

> Maybe you could get her to ask what the doll's mommy thinks instead.Like I said in a previous post; I think I am just overthinking at times. It was fine when I said the first thing that came to mind, but it gets confusing when I start wondering "who" she's really asking: me, the younger part, or the doll. We all might have a different response. :)
She does ask me first; but if I don't have an answer, or my answer is "wrong", then she'll ask the doll.As for what the doll does in therapy. Well, I don't remember how or why I first started bringing her, but I've been doing it for a few weeks now and even when I don't bring her, T asks where she is. (I like that.) As a child, the doll was always a source of comfort; and actually that is still her role. So in therapy, I think she's just there for comfort(?) Although now that you mention it, maybe it is to help access my younger self(?). Hmmmmm....
