Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! It's so nice to have a life-affirming celebration to look forward to!
I am also so glad to hear that you are becoming securely attached to your analyst. I know the process has been a long and often painful one for you. You make me feel hopeful! Your information about Schore has been incredibly helpful for me in understanding what is going on with my ego states and how we all relate to my therapist. We have become a better team about getting everyone's needs met, but some parts are just starting to open up to him, some remain incredibly distrustful, and others are downright hostile to him. When we do our visualizations of all the parts, I was alarmed to discover a wounded toddler version of myself who had never been there before. I have not told him how she has been in my mind and dreams -- I think it is more difficult because those wounds are preverbal. Anyway, I will have to tell him soon that my psyche is haunted by yet another stagnated part of me. I'm not sure what to do with such a little one who only feels a lot of pain but doesn't have the ability to talk about it.
Thanks for posting! Hope things continue to go well for you, and I can't wait to hear about your anaylist's book!
