((((Daisy, big, little & in between))))
Little Daisy is the part of you that didn't have the courage or even ability to vocalize what she needed. She's been hurt and ignored in the past and now she wants attention (that she absolutely deserves) and she wants it right away.
Yes, she sounds like a demanding child, but what she's asking for is what she needs to heal. You have a pretty smart inner child. Listen to her, and don't be ashamed of her needs. Or Big Daisy's needs.
Your T sounds like he understands that you feel ashamed and afraid of what Little Daisy is asking for. He'll try to hold and respect these needs as much as he can (within the boundaries, darn boundaries!) and that shows that he knows how hard this is and will support you all the way.
I am sending you lots of chocolate. I'll make some hot chocolate tonight (it's cold here) with marshmallows and whipped cream.
