Gosh it's funny. I have been following your conversation about other states and child parts for months without really understanding what you were saying - it seemed very remote and fanciful. Suddenly I know exactly what it is all about. It is so real.
My T talks about recognising five or six different child parts in my interaction with her. I only really feel sceptical "adult" and pathetic "child" for the moment, but this child part seems to have so many needs and moods and requests.
I asked if I could sit on the floor a while ago - she looked horrified, and offered the couch or her chair instead, so I now always sit in her chair. But the floor looks so inviting. She is a child psychologist, and there are lots of toys around the room. Sometimes I cradle one when I'm feeling very much in touch with my child part, but what I really want to play with is the anatomical dolls. But I don't dare. Or sit and scribble at the little table. Perhaps I should ask again.
