Life,
I found your post very moving. Thanks for sharing. It means a lot to me because I relate to you and so many people on this board--you all seem to be able to articulate what I feel inside that I can't seem to put into words myself, not right now anyway. So you see, you're all helping me to release some of my own internal pressure, and I am so grateful for that.
Thanks everyone!
I got shivers when I read how your therapist let's you use her blanket at home. I crave for that sort of comfort from somebody as well and I hope to have a T like yours one day, I can't even imagine how wonderful that must be. I do however have a teddy bear that my child part reminds me of every single night. If the bear is on the dresser and I'm already in bed, laziness is not allowed, I must get up and get that bear for the child. And I'm always glad I did. I also put on soothing music. I have this one CD that feels like soft lullabyes, and calm african music is wonderful as well. They bring tears, (to have something so soothing and safe at bedtime is just so foreign to me), but I'm learning the child needs to cry and for it to be okay. And I have vowed to do anything I can to help her heal. She is becoming more receptive and trusting towards me. I hope when I get back into therapy that she'll feel safe enough by then to let the new T in, too. (After I skope him or her out first of course!)
Anyway, thanks again for sharing about you. Wishing you the best and sending warm thoughts,
Memory
