I think my terrified, frozen girl is *out* all the time now; I'm trying to learn to be more comfortable with all her feelings, as well as to remember to comfort her when the feelings begin to really hurt a lot. I must admit, life was easier when she was *in*! (except it wasn't really- i was more anxious and depressed)
Your therapist is so right about the damage to your younger self's trust and ability to be comforted. It really sounds as though both of them (both our Ts) feel confident that once these parts of ourselves are more fully present, they can begin to have the new, good and healing experience of interacting with our gifted, caring therapists. I don't worry how long I'll be so dependent, or about whether I should back off. I know it won't be soon, but i think i will know when I can do it.
